For hundreds of years farm life was the backbone of this country; ingredients for most family meals were right in the backyard. Grad-ually, however, the farm family gave way to our urbanized society and packaged produce became a way of life for most households. It took a time of national emer-gency, World War II, to bring citizens back to the earth:"victory gardens" shot up across the nation. At the end of the war, as the country rejoiced and looked ahead to more affluent times, many of these gardens went to seed Once again it took a traumatic event, the energy crisis of the 1970s, to get people to rethink priorities. The need for self-sufficiency became apparent. This, and economic necessity, may have triggered a renewed interest in home gardening, but it has been a combination of the emotional and physical satisfactions of gardening and a new passion for freshness that have sustained the "back-to-basics" movement. Such a climate gave birth to"Crockett's Victory Garden."My husband, Russell Morash, had been a television producer for over twenty years and a weekend gardener for ten. It was inevitable that he would leap to the bait when a television gardening show was suggested. In his search for a host he found Jim Crockett, whose talent and spirit would soon make millions of television friends for gardening. ORDER BEFORE 2 PM CENTRAL - SAME DAY SHIPPINGPRM243
