The Obamas are starting an organic vegetable garden to teach about local organic foods to kids- awesome. I bet White House compost is pretty fancy. Here an article on the project from the NY Times: http://tiny.cc/CrJLk

Dan and I are thinking about spring and looking forward to expanding our garden. I’m pushing for more flowers and herbs as well as veggies. We joined a CSA (Consumer Supported Agriculture) in Fredonia and have veggie shares coming our way every week starting in May (through october). I know Dan still wants to grow tomatoes and carrots again in our garden. I think we’re going to need to study up on some new recipes to handle all these veggies coming our way. We’re also talking about finally getting a compost set-up going. We’ve talked about it for a few years now, but I am determined to get it done this spring. We’re currently researching and choosing between the options of a traditional pile (open crate/wire enclosure, a turning barrel, or vermicompost. We’ll keep you updated on that process.
