Washington’s Not-So-Secret Garden
By The Editors

Michelle Obama announced that she would be planting a vegetable garden on the South Lawn, and digging began in earnest on Friday.

This is the first vegetable garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt’s victory garden during World War II. Though there are 18 acres to play with, no White House resident since has had the urge to dig into the dirt and, with a little hard work, enjoy the delight of harvesting peas and tomatoes off the vine.

Why are the Obamas the first in more than 60 years to put in a vegetable garden?
