How-To: Start Your Own Victory Garden
Today, US First Lady Michelle Obama, along with elementary school students, took part in the ground breaking of the White House Kitchen Garden on the South Lawn. This is the first kitchen garden on the White House lawn since First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt planted a victory garden during World War II. Victory gardens are vegetable, fruit, and herb gardens that were planted at home residences during World War I and II to increase families' food supplies during the days of rationing and boost morale. From the Iraq war to the financial crisis, there are plenty of reasons to start a victory garden right now so, if you're up for the task, check out my tips for starting your own.

I love your garden features best of all - for some reason, I do better with crafts & decor that involves dirt!
1My family used to have a HUGE garden in our backyard, and it completely inspired my love affair with fruits and vegetables. Store bought produce can be great, but home grown is so much better! Especially tomatoes, from the store they are completely different, are pink instead of red, and have no taste!
2I love growing tomatoes and herbs. I'm afraid to try anything else because of the deer. They'll eat almost anything that grows.
3I'll have to try out the book you mentioned. I only grow some herbs on the side of my house, but I'd love to have vegetables on hand too.
4God, I LOVE Michelle Obama. Our garden is doing awesome so far!
