Have a White House Garden at Your Place

You don't need a White House staff, expensive equipment or even weed-pulling kids to grow inexpensive, healthy, too-delicious-to-believe organic vegetables in your yard, on your deck or even on a city balcony.

I learned organic gardening and the importance of always having a Victory Garden of veggies from my parents. Thanks to them, I internalized the Depression/World War II value that an expanse of un-productive lawn was evidence of moral laxity and lack of patriotism.

Organic gardening at home means never having to worry about the safety of the spinach you grow yourself. Organic gardening at home re-defines a vine-ripened tomato as one plucked five minutes ago and five feet from your kitchen door. Organic gardening at home means freedom from the over-priced, pesticide-soaked, weeks-old pathetic produce in the grocery store.

So whether you start with a single cherry tomato plant in a pot on your porch, a row of spinach next to the driveway or a trellis of sugar snap peas to snack on right where you grow them, you'll be emulating the First Family in continuing one of this nation's most productive and rewarding traditions.

Get started today.
