Yay for the First Veggie Garden. (You know … First Lady, First Family, First Dog, First Garden? Ok, yeah, it’s lame. Sorry. I couldn’t resist.)
I really like that the Obamas are running with the idea of a White House veggie garden. I’m hoping that it will inspire people everywhere to plant something edible, even if just in a pot on the windowsill.

I also like that the White House is planning on using the veggies and fruits from the garden not just in family meals but in State Dinners and events.
I also really enjoy Michelle Obama’s sense of humor about her mom’s supervisory role. 
Updated to add the proposed layout that was published. Wow. I’m jealous!
Now I just have to get MY garden going.

Dear kara!
Greetings from Shizuoka, Japan!
Not so lame actually, as it is definitely good news for the foodies to have the First Lady becoming as a reference for good food!
I’m French and I shouldn’t comment about US politics, but I would like to say the present First Couple is heads and shoulders above what I have witnessed so far!
Cheers,
