Re: c.g. or allotment?

Jack,


Actually, Philadelphia had a "Vacant Lot Improvement" program in the late 19th Century. It provided plots on vacant land (I think they were 1/7 acre) so poor people who were victims of a great depression then to grow their own food.

I have a piece on it at City Farmer.
