what you grew in your garden in the 1940's. I would also welcome any
recipe from the 1940's

AND, jokes from the 1940's???????????

Half of my nan's garden was given over to a hen house and run. I can still
remember the foul (excuse the pun) smell of the peelings and 'stuff' being
boiled up to feed them.

Pun accepted ;-)

That foul smell was the Bran which was mixed in. I had chickens in the 60's
and did the same thing. The birds loved it ;-)

Not sure but I believe that the Bran was available if you registered that
you had chickens. Will have to check that one out.

Can anyone remember Day Old Chicks for sale under a lamp on the Mac Fish
slab? I can in Kingston on Thames Market during the War.
