July 1943. WWII. Rationing. Canned food went to troops. Fresh food barely made it to cities. USDA said: “Plant Victory Gardens. Feed yourselves.” In McPherson County, Kansas, the men were gone — drafted or working war plants in Wichita. Left behind: 42 widows, average age 67, all from German Mennonite families. Their kids called them the “Garden Grandmas.” Problem: no men to plow. No gas for tractors. County had 1 horse left — blind in one eye. So Grandma Hilda Penner, 71, organized them. They used push plows from 1890. Hooked 4 grandmas to a plow like oxen. Took turns. 6 AM to 9 PM. They broke 18 acres behind the church. Planted everything: potatoes, beans, cabbage, onions. No fences, so they slept in shifts with brooms to beat off rabbits and deer. They canned 9,000 quarts that fall. Ran a depot out of the church basement. Rule: take what you need, leave what you can. Nobody in the county went hungry in winter ’43. City folks from Wichita drove 60 miles with empty jars. The War Department sent a man to film them. He said “smile.” Hilda said: “We smile when the cellar’s full.” She was holding a plow, not a flag. They kept it up till 1945. Last jar was dated August 14 — V-J Day. Hilda wrote on it: “We won too.” #WWII #VictoryGardens #1943 #KansasHistory #HomeFront

@JamesHu27192912 This made me cry ... nothing but pride and joy for those women and their unwavering sacrifice, their strength. Along with their men off to war, the very best of America. 🇺🇲

@mattvanswol Not by any parent with a semblance of maturity and responsibility! "That's certainly something a child would see in their community..."

@Chris__X__ Would we have found, or been told, about any of it without DJT? I think not. God Bless @POTUS.

The thought of how many tax dollars have been wasted over the years is truly sickening. It’s way more than I ever imagined. You always knew there was waste, but this much? 😳
