video - white house veggie garden
This is a great video! It shows a time-lapse of a man digging, planting and harvesting a new vegetable garden in his front yard (a small "white house"). An analogy is made to THE white house. He makes a lovely garden with great beds and rows of veggies. Tomatoes and radish are harvested. Watch it if you like to watch a garden grow. Its also a nice "how-to" if you want to start your own garden.
This is just what I often imagine when I see a nice sunny green lawn! Politics aside, vegetable gardening is just a very rewarding pastime.

I absolutely Love it!!!! I hope the White house lawns are used for this purpose!
I live in London, England, where there is serious overpopulation, but still quite a bit of central land is set aside for allotments. This is a hangover of a "Dig for Victory" project set up to encourage people to grow vegetables during the wars.
Now though it is again becoming a very popular things to do - there is a 4 year waiting list for most city allotments, and some have even completely closed their waiting lists as they are too long!

Exceptional! I'd heard about a campaign for replacing the whitehouse lawn with a veggie garden - what does skippy think, is it a possibility?
