perfect little lettuces from cait’s front porch garden.
spring is here (or should be) and it’s time to start thinking about summer vegetable gardens (if you don’t think of them all year long already). the lovely beautyeveryday has a beautiful post today with a list of veggies to jump start a southern vegetable garden. but it’s not only southern gardeners who need to gear up. the obamas are planning quite the vegetable garden in d.c. if you needed a another reason to adore michelle obama, this article should do the trick.
before the obamas, the roosevelts were the last family in the white house to dig up the south lawn and plant their own veggies.

i don’t know about you, but i really like the idea of the obama girls munching on carrots from their own garden.
so, what do you think? are you planning a little garden this spring? need some encouraging? just remember:

hey, I like yout blog! Good luck with the gardening!
too awesome!
i was in ikea yesterday and saw a lil mini greenhouse box that i’m sure i couldn’t fit a whole garden in, but made me want it nonetheless.
(did i mention how *so very nice* it is to see green coming from the ground?)
Yay! Chris is growing veggies this year. (He has to be in charge, because I apparently have a black thumb. Way better with cats than plants.)
nothing beats fresh green organic vegetables! pesticide, bacteria and poison freee… i dont have a garden for now, but hopefully will own property with one one day!
after however many years of life i’ve spent trying to convince him to, my pops and i are finally tearing up some lawn space to expand the garden. more than just tomatoes and eggplant this year. keep us posted. (and we’ll do the same.)
Dad and I paced ours out this weekend–an allee of 6 fruit trees–peach, pear, and plum– 8 raised beds for organically grown veggie seedlings, 1 compost bin, 1 brush bin, 18 berry bushes for us and the birds, and lots of spaces for bee skeps and straw hives. Let the wild rumpus begin!
Oh, I didn’t know about this 🙂 How delightful!
Hey long lonst roomie, I am having so much fun reading your blog. Reading blogs of past coworkers seems to be my new procrastination method of choice. I can’t wait until spring makes its way up to us here in MA. Especially since my whole thesis sort of depends on it…
