White House garden guide

GOOD Magazine has an amazing illustration of the White House vegetable garden.

It not only shows the layout of the First Garden, but also compares the number of home gardens in 2008 and 2009. According to GOOD, gardens are up 7 million this year. Not sure what their data source is, but it's still good news!

The illustration also has space for the White House's smallest First Family member:

Bo, who seems to be planting a ... BlackBerry?

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
