WAY BACK WHEN: 100 YEARS AGO TODAY IN SANTA BARBARA: Everybody who had any space was planting vegetables in their liberty garden (aka victory garden), and the paper printed one gardener’s frustration: “I do love to work out in my war garden, though I do get dirty as a pig. I work until I am tired as a dog, and feel weak as a cat. I am happy as a clam while I am about it, but do wish I was strong as an ox so I could accomplish more.” -- Santa Barbara Morning Press, April 28, 1918.
