A White House Farmer's Market?

I can see it now.

The Obama family outside the White House, working out of the back of a pick-up truck, selling vegetables from Michelle's garden and the kids making change out of a tin cash box.

That's the vision that comes to mind when the President discusses healthy eating, getting more fresh vegetables into school lunches and the possibility of a White House farmer's market.

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.
