White House vegetable garden

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.

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

Now that the gardening season is coming to an end, how did the White House garden turn out?

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.
