I knew for some time that the President and and the first lady were consulting with grassroot groups from around the US about establishing an edible lawn for their kitchen and today it's official. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/20/dining/20garden.htmlI personally think it's a great idea to plant vegetables on the White House lawn. The impact that is going to send across the country is going to be amazing. This single act may have just very well propelled our generation into a different direction, where citizens strive to maintain healthy lives and march on the path towards self-sustainability. According to the report they will grow 55 different vegetables and fruits except beets because the President hates beets. He should read my blog on trying it twice.

Did you hear that they are going to have two bee hives in the garden!! Very exciting news us bee lovers.
should have read (FOR us bee lovers). I am enjoying your blog, and look forward to hearing about the garlic in a bucket.
Thanks Beacon Bee, But honestly I don't think you enjoy mines as much as I enjoy yours and everyone elses. I look forward to seeing what everyone is up to. I am learning so much.
And for the President and his family well mainly Mrs. Obama. That is soooooo great that they are going to have bees. Im actually speachless about the whole idea. I think it's wonderful. I have a really bad phobia of bees but I will get over it. Next year I want to try. I have to do it. I just need to make sure I can get me a suit and some need to have tools and i will venture there.
