Apparently today is harvest time for the White House garden. Either I've not kept up, Obamafoodorama hasn't kept up, or the White House hasn't been publicizing it, but I've lost track of what they're growing. According to today's post, sweet potatoes.
In our own garden the tomatoes are done, cleaned up the rest of the vines this morning (early blight is a problem so the vines go out in the trash, not back into the ground. We don't grow sweet potatoes, though we like them well enough. The fall vegetables have been in the ground for a good well: lettuce and brassicas.
Back to the White House garden--if I remember correctly next spring they can claim to be organic, since the land has been free of chemicals for 3 years next March.
[Updated: Apparently in June they were planting the three sisters of Native Americans, corn, beans, and squash--that's from a link in the post above.]
