Vegetable Gardening at the White House


That's the way I dress when I dig a garden, too.

And by the way, she had help. Twenty-six fifth-graders. I thought child labor was illegal in this country.

Obama’s fellow gardeners got a healthy snack when they were done working the soil. Apples, apple cider and sugar cookies -- with organic flour -- and in the shape of shovels.

They didn't even get paid! Child slave labor. But they get the satisfaction of knowing that the royal family will be eating healthy fresh vegetables.

I like the idea that the Obamas are promoting local, sustainable growing, but there's something really wrong with this picture, and not just in the haute couture gardening duds.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
