Obamafoodorama reports on the planting of the White House garden. We've had a cool, rather dry couple of months which has delayed everything, particularly the cherry blossoms.
In our garden we got the peas and lettuce, etc.in fairly early, though not as early as Al, who always beats us. His peas and lettuce have been showing for a couple weeks now, while I just saw ours this morning.
Mrs. Obama is planting wheat, planning to focus on whole grain foods when it's harvested in the summer. The garden is up to 1,500 square feet, and as they have in the past, they're using seedlings, not seeds so much, which probably explains why they're slower than we are, even though their garden is probably a half zone warmer.
No mention in the posts about whether the kids are doing any weeding--I think it's safe to say they aren't. I'm not a parent, but I suspect it's tough to get teenagers to do anything like that.
