DIG THIS: NEW AND SERIOUS GARDENS AT WHITE HOUSE

[chickiebaby]

DIG IT! We're talking vegetables!

The first couple will be joining a group of public school kids, weeding! Kale, collards, chard, all the good stuff! This is utterly awesome!

My political leanings aside veggie gardens are good and they aren't dem or repub. I didn't read the whole article but I'd like to know who is gonna water it?

Great article! Already put it on my facebook page.

Eating out three times a week, ordering a pizza, having a sandwich for dinner took it’s toll.

Arg... even the NYT can't get punctuation correct.

Jenn, you are too fabulous! I, too, proof everything I read. Except my own crappy typing. Cain't hep it!

Yay for gardens!

 

[Chicken Lil]

That is great!

However, I'm jealous that they can get a group of kids to come help them prepare the garden. Wonder if I can round up some willing victims to work in my garden!

I already sent an email to the journalist. EMBARASSING!!!!!!!!

Isn't that the coolest thing ever??? And they're even going to compost their own waste to fertilize! I just love it.

Nice.

the Obamas’ garden will have 55 varieties of vegetables...

Total cost for the seeds, mulch, etc., is $200.

Not too shabby, for all those veggies.
