White House vegetable garden

The school kids are back! The school kids are back!

The students from Washington's Bancroft Elementary School, plus students from Kimball Elementary, will be back at the White House vegetable garden today with first lady Michelle Obama.

The occassion is the fall harvest of the garden. Staff and volunteers from Miriam's Kitchen, the local DC food shelter that has received multiple donations from the White House of produce and honey, will also attend.

Check back here on Garden Variety for an update and photos!

Just ecstatic that people are still following this, keep it up! I've seen mention of the fall White House Garden on another site or two so am greatly encouraged. I was afraid the interest would pass due to our sound bite culture, let's sustain the momentum. Grow it, eat it, promote it- our gardens rule!

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.
