Today the digging starts. The Obamas are putting in a White House Vegetable garden.
About a month ago I wrote a couple of posts (which you can read here and here) arguing for the merits of a first veggie garden, modeled after Eleanor Roosevelt's victory garden. Today the New York Times reported that indeed it is going to happen. A 1,110 square food plot of the White House lawn will be turned into a garden, visible to the public passing by on E Street. My hat goes off to Michelle Obama, and to all those involved in planning and implementing the garden. I look forward to seeing the fruits (and vegetables) of all the labor.

A little sad that there will be no beets because the president doesn't like them. I think he should "give them another try. Beets are so great! Do you know that Graeme is enjoying LOTS of different vegetables these days. Persistence pays (even if it takes 20 years)!
