[Nuclear Unicorn]

1. am jealous

I can't even get my brambles to take root.

[elleng]

2. Looks great!

They DO have a lot of help.

[Voice for Peace]

3. she is dangerous.. people will start growing their organic own food next,

and getting healthy. A threat to freedom, clearly.

[freshwest]

24. She caught a lot of flak for making that garden organic, too. Was accused of causing both obesity...

And starvation at the same time, by the pesticide manufacturing lobby. And trying to force people to eat vegetables by the tea baggers. Yes, very dangerous...

[rurallib]

4. Fox will claim she is stealing vegetables

Oh, well, next year that will be a dressage training area.
for the humor impaired

[sinkingfeeling]

5. How come her gardens don't have any weeds and mine does?

[rhett o rick]

6. What kind of weed are you referring to? nm

[DCKit]

8. Funny, but still a prick.

You're soooooooo going to Hell.

[rhett o rick]

15. Did I offend you in some way? nm

[DCKit]

16. I didn't mean it like THAT.

But you're still going to Hell.

[rhett o rick]

17. Oh well, duh!

Sorry a little sensitive these days.

[DCKit]

20. Don't be sorry for standing up for yourself. Ever.

DU would be worthless without people like you.

I love you guys (and gals).

[rhett o rick]

22. Let's not go all maudlin on me now.

There are some great people here. There are others that seem to relish baiting people into getting Tombstoned.

[DCKit]

31. Not our kind. They can go begging. nt

[tclambert]

9. Try using your thumb and forefinger

and pull.

Or you could hire some minions to do it for you.

[gkhouston]

25. Maybe the Secret Service considers weeds threatening?

[Kablooie]

26. Because they pull them out. -- duh.

[politicasista]

7. Nice garden

almost makes me want to visit and get veggies there.

[DCKit]

10. Sure, let's just hop over the fence.

Isn't blood a fertilizer?

[politicasista]

13. Not sure, but

will ask DM the family gardener.

[Wounded Bear]

30. Only for certain specific kinds of trees.

[lunatica]

11. I love it too!

My condo association is thinking about starting a crop growing project. They've already gotten everyone to say if they'd like to do it. It's a matter of planning now. I can hardly wait to get started. This photo looks quite nice and aesthetic. We have plenty of land which is now greenery and lawns but other than a sprinkling system there are no outdoor faucets. Maybe they can use the sprinklers and water everything just before dawn the way they water the grass now.

[A Simple Game]

12. Do they have a roadside stand? Bet people would pay well for

produce grown at the White House.

[abelenkpe]

14. Love it!

Wish my tiny tomato garden was doing so well.

[malaise]

18. Lovely indeed

This is great for the youngsters

[Worried senior]

19. I know people will have snarky comments to

make about this and I'm sure she doesn't do the weeding but I think it's great and much more productive than "just say no".

[JDPriestly]

21. Beautiful garden! Makes my heart sing. Thanks, Madame President.

[onethatcares]

23. dayam, and I was estatic

about getting one legal cucumber offa my plants.

There's something about gardening that just makes things ok.

and that is one heck of a nice garden.

[calimary]

27. That's just SO cool! What a wonderful idea!

I just love Michelle Obama! She's a First Lady who makes me proud to be an American woman. Nice garden there, too!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

28. Luscious

is the word I'd use to describe this garden. It should be a permanent fixture at the White House.

29. I wonder if many see how this ties into health care reform?

One way to bring health care costs down is to make Americans healthier. To get healthier Americans need to eat better. She picked (pun intended) a good cause.

[Javaman]

32. I live in Austin...

I was subject to the reign of terror of george w. moron* longer than the rest of the nation.

when he got in, sadly, as my gov. I thought to myself, I better start a garden.

I have had that garden all these years now. It was the best thing I have ever done.

I have already harvested over 100 tomatoes and well over 150 cherry tomatoes.

Along with 50 yellow onions and12 eggplants.

My peppers are now just coming in as well as my cucumbers.

My GF and I preserve, dry, pickle and freeze everything.

While it's a great thing to do for personal satisfaction, gardening (in my opinion) is now not just for healthy living, but a financial necessity.
