It’s planting time at the White House. Here’s their blog post about it.
The First Lady looks more comfortably dressed for the garden this time! Of course shoes are key, and we can’t see those here.
Update: Since making this post, I’ve since seen in the Washington Post blog (after a mention on KGI) that they planted 25 varieties of heirloom vegetables, including a bed of varieties favored by Thomas Jefferson and a variety of Dutch lettuce. It’s not clear if the garden is completely heirloom, but heirloom varieties are prominently featured!
The first lady also mentioned on her recent trip to Europe a great deal of attention was paid to her garden plans. I can certainly confirm, there’s a lot of interest here in the garden, and lots of people are watching.
Hello!
I just discovered your blog and am looking forward to reading more. I’m so excited about the White House garden and all that it means, and I thank you for the link to the White House blog. : )
