Hey, does anyone know how the much publicized White House Garden turned out? Are they doing the upkeep? And, did they actually put in bee hives? I love this tradition, glad to see it happen, just want to see how sustainable it was for our first family.

Some states have outlawed “hording” (having enough food in your home to last 2 weeks or more.) How insane is that? If you grow a lot of potatoes, or too much corn, or you know, happen to have an apple tree… then you’re one of those evil horders and get to go to prison.

I wonder when they’ll outlaw gardens… that’s how rediculous things are getting. Obama’s paymasters don’t want you to have a garden, or be self sufficient, or healthy, wealthy, or wise. He’s a puppet of the CFR and other globalists who want to destroy the middle class. And they’re doing a great job of it.

Live free!

HI Tessa,

Two easy ways to build a raised bed garden , one is to use straw bales. I love the look and at the end of the season you have great compost. The bed will bed at least 18 inches high.

Another is to use a wood table. I find one at a sale for a buck or two that is part using in a house and put 6 to 8 inch boards on the side and fill with dirt. I do add drainage holes first so the water will not build up. You have a 3 to 4 foot high raised bed. Perfect for anyone with a bad back or in a wheel chair. I use the space under the table to store garden supplies. Denise

Yes, a raised garden is really nice if you have a bad back- my mom needs one. I think my dad will be building it this year for her and thank-you for stopping by, as well

Hi Tessa,

I agree its important to grow as much as we can, plus its better produce anyways. I am going to help my brother set up a raised bed garden this year by his house. He loves to garden but with a bad back its more difficult. But I have great plans for a compact raised bed that really makes a garden an oasis, so this should add to his yard and family entertaining too. Thanks for stopping by, Denise

Teri… It would be nice if Obama had a garden. It would set and example for us and would definitely help our economy. Thanks for stopping by! Denise

Excellent post! I think everyone should be doing this- I’m trying extra hard this year to grow more, for my family and friends as well. I think if Obama did this it would be fantastic!

Victory indeed, what a fitting concept and it so pairs up with green energy, buying into the local economy which saves energy and supports local business. It is finally happening that these policies will trickle from the top down, not the other way around. Obama will make this a top priority -I am sure. Great idea and I totally support it.
