I just love it too. I came in from digging up part of the back garden, and got on the computer and that was he first story I saw. Perfect!

My kids and I are putting in some new raised beds out in the side yard this weekend, to.

The way the First Lady is , I would suspect she will probably have local school kids coming by to help with the garden. Of course watering is good therapy and gives you time to think. Maybe the man himself will water it too. he can use the garden to punish his cabinet members when they screw up. Two hours of pulling weeds.

I think the garden is a great idea.

You are too funny. At this point I think they already have a list of weed pullers. lol

Oh I love the garden idea. I wonder if they have ever had a garden at thier own home before. Even with a good deal of help a garden this size will take alot of work. I wonder what the water bill will be. We have a water well that I thank God for every time I water our garden. Michelle needs to plant peppers and alot of them. We froze ours and used them all year long.
 
I had signed a petition saying that the next president should do a garden at the white house. In the comment I wrote that they should get some chickens too, almost said it might be a good lesson for the kids but the new president hadn't been elected yet. I put the link to BYC in the comment, wonder if they even look at all the commets............
 
55 vegetables is pretty ambitious. Sounds like she has done gardens before. Remember these two weren't born into wealthy families like most First Families. I'm sure they have both pulled some weeds in their time. I bet she has a few gardeners to help.

It's a great symbolic gesture though. Maybe chickens are next.
 
Mrs. Obama, who said that she never had a vegetable garden before, said the idea for it came from her experiences as a working mother trying to feed her daughters, Malia and Sasha, a good diet.
