I may not agree with everything that Obama does policy wise, economically, internationally etc. But I can absolutely get behind the fact that his family is putting a vegetable garden in on the south lawn of the White House.
Some friends and I recently reserved a plot in our community garden and we can't wait to 1) meet new friends ie other gardeners, 2) garden, get our hands in the dirt, try some crazy and new veggies 3) consume locally and sustainably and 4) put a little extra into our community. So for this, I say, Go Obama! For the full story, go here.

We're planting our own garden this year too! In addition to our strawberries and raspberries that we have now, we're going to try carrots and a couple varieties of watermelon (Caleb's favorite). We're are just blessed to live in an area where we have such a long growing season for things like this. Oh, and a friend that grows organic peaches!:)
I wonder if beets will now suffer the same fate as broccoli did when Bush #1 was Pres.?
Let's go visit our plot soon and start dreaming together!
