Gingerbread White House vegetable garden

First lady Michelle Obama unveiled the White House Christmas decorations today, including the traditional gingerbread version of the White House.

It is always an astonishing confection, created in extraordinary detail by the White House pastry chefs, this year headed by Bill Yosses.

There is one new detail worth mentioning: a sweet replica of Mrs. Obama's vegetable garden.

I should probably mention that there is also a confectionary version of Bo, the Obama's new dog, at the foot of the White House steps.

But this is the garden blog, after all, and not Unleashed, the pet blog written by my friend Jill Rosen.

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.
