It is harvest time at the White House.
First Lady Michelle Obama and students from Bancroft Elementary, who helped her install the White House vegetable and herb garden this spring, will be collecting some of the results on Tuesday afternoon.
The kids will then help White House chefs prepare a meal. A very healthy meal, I'm guessing.
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.

They get to share in the garden that they helped plant. That is nice.
