What a deal of food can be produced from a small plot! Here is an example taken from the Bay of Plenty Beacon: A piece of garden about 30 yards by 15 has provided more vegetables than a family of five can eat. A plot half this size taken in for the war has provided potatoes that should last till the next crop shall be dug. Sufficient bean and pea seed for next year has been saved. The smallest greenhouse procurable (and it is unheated) has produced more than enough tomatoes for daily consumption and for preserving. It will also supply a modicum of dwarf beans in the winter. A tumbledown structure has housed 14 pullets, which have laid a good 2000. eggs in ten months, and are still giving five or six.a day. From two beehives has been collected 1401 b. of run honey.
