"Obamas to Plant White House Vegetable Garden"
On Friday, March 20th, 2009, 23 third graders will join First Lady Michelle Obama on the South Lawn of the White House to break ground on an 1100 square foot kitchen garden that will provide food for family dinners and formal dinners.
According to the New York Times:
The Obamas’ garden will have 55 varieties of vegetables grown from organic seedlings started at the executive mansion’s greenhouses.
And better still:
Almost the entire Obama family, including the president, will pull weeds, “whether they like it or not,” Mrs. Obama said laughing.
Eat the View is coordinated by Kitchen Gardeners International, a Maine-based 501c3 nonprofit network of 10,000 gardeners from 100 countries who are inspiring and teaching more people to grow some of their own food.
It's spring! Go Outside! Plant your own garden now!

Hi Sandi,
This has nothing to do with Obama planting various vegetables and I'm not sure if this is a proper place to ask but I wanted to get your attention and I thought this may be the fastest way to do it. I apologize ahead of time if this isn't the right place to do it. I think the krypton.fhda.edu server is down because I haven't been able to connect. It's the weekend and it's time for me to catch up on all assignment, but alas... the server is down. :(

Hi Sandi: I've just moved 3 weeks ago to new place in Redwood City with a lot of space in the backyard. I am definitely going to start my own vegetable garden. I 've just started preparing the ground and will begin planting in a few weeks
