I was doing some research on Victory Gardens for the Canning & Preserving book and came across this inspiring video. The before and after photos of the White House are so telling.
thanks for posting that. A great idea! I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that the Clintons had an organic garden somewhere on the White House lawns. It doesn't seem as if they made a big deal about though, I guess that was before food justice was a hot topic. Good luck with the book!
Making an attempt to craft a good life with my husband and young son in a small mountain community. I find pleasure in the light at dusk, atlases, hard cider, cat antics, dog breath, baby giggles, homemade ice cream and snorty laughter.

Good idea. Think I'll sign the petition and drop a line to the prez @whitehouse.gov.
