I think we have all heard about victory gardens. I don't know about
other cities but I have been in Italian neighbourhoods in Toronto and
there were always a lot of vegetable gardens and usually some fruit
trees and grape vines.

 Have you been in large apartment complexes to see their gardens?

As Dave said, "victory gardens" and backyard chickens/rabbits were popular from WWII era and back.  Then again, large apartment complexes weren't a thing then, either.
It's funny how many cities now ban backyard chickens, but during the Great War, lots of propaganda was released to encourage back yard animals.
