I think it would be a great idea for the white house to have an organic garden, be a shining example of what many folks should be doing. Lose the lawn and plant some food, etc. Be the Change! thx Blue! :)

The White House in bloom:
On Friday, Michelle Obama will begin digging up a patch of White House lawn to plant a vegetable garden, the first since Eleanor Roosevelt’s victory garden in World War II. There will be no beets (the

Agreed on the beets. There will also be honeybee hives. Cool!
