Some of us, that were kids during WWII, still have our home gardens. DW
and I have been married 48 years the 26th of this month and we've always
had a garden. Even when we lived in the desert in Saudi Arabia.

We live on a 75X150 city lot in a small city, the house occupies about
3000 square feet of the lot and the rest is garden. Main veggie garden,
herb garden, fruit trees, blackberries, blueberries, flowers, etc. More
of the same but all flowers in the front yard. Keeps us sane after
working with the public for many years. Freezer full of good stuff we
grew plus a small pantry loaded with stuff we canned ourselves. Only way
to get exactly what you want to eat. If everyone of us grew as much as
we could we could knock the socks off the food conglomerates and help to
feed our neighbors too.

Even better, start a neighborhood garden.
