The ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign was set up during WWII by the British Ministry of Agriculture. Men and women across the country were encouraged to grow their own food in times of harsh rationing. Open spaces everywhere were transformed into allotments, from domestic gardens to public parks – even the lawns outside the Tower of London were turned into vegetable patches. 

Leaflets, were part of a massive propaganda campaign aiming both to    ensure that people had enough to eat, and that morale was kept high.

Follow the WWII Ministry leaflets and learn about growing vegetables during WWII and the recipe's the British nation used for the vegetables they grew.
