WHITE HOUSE GETS VEGE GARDEN!

It's what we gardeners have all been hoping and waiting for as a true sign of the times. Michelle's going to have a garden.
The Obamas will feed their love of Mexican food with cilantro, tomatilloes and hot peppers. Lettuces will include red romaine, green oak leaf, butterhead, red leaf and galactic. There will be spinach, chard, collards and black kale. For desserts, there will be a patch of berries. And herbs will include some more unusual varieties, like anise hyssop and Thai basil. A White House carpenter who is a beekeeper will tend two hives for honey.

Heard about it this morning. Bet the "Garden Rant" women are shouting " Halleluja".
Will they have a Gardener as well as the Honey man?

As an early blog reporter on the "Eat the View" idea, you should be patting yourself on the back that Mrs O is planting a veggie garden on the White House Lawn today. It's all because of you! (!okay, a few others, too).

Nonsense, but am glad you followed over from Talking Plants. Thanks, Sarah.
