I am so proud to have this woman as my First Lady. I remember when my Mother use to have a garden every summer. And as kids we would help her take care of the garden.

Home gardens are probably a good idea in the new Great Depression Obama is trying to usher in.

People should probably start their own gardens. Pretty soon we won't be able to afford fresh produce from the store.

Kudos to First Lady. Not only is this a great example for people to live a healthier life but it is economically sound. My own mother, to save money, in a one income family grew a large fruit and vegetable garden and saved so much money. It helps the small farmer in this economy, too.
Help small farming ventures! Eat better tasting food! Eat healthier! AAAAND... SAVE MONEY!

Go Michelle!!! Kudos for bringing attention to such an important issue

Good for them! I hope they come up with a presidential solution for squirrels. I love that the White House is looking more like a home – and the healthy examples the first family is setting are admirable.

Anything... anything at all to try to take our attention away from the budget crisis... which by the way, our President can't stay focused on.

Good on them. They have the space, the time and the money to make it work.

Michelle Obama is setting a wonderful example for her children and for the nation.

good going,teach where produce starts.

This is such an amazing and great idea. I live in Southern Nevada. We do not have the fertile soil to garden, but I am planting vegetables and fruits in containers/pots. I have an old horse trough that I got used and I have planted carrots, radishes, peas and one tomato plant in it. I am going to plant some compact bush zucchini and squash plants in some big pots. I am also planting herbs in small terra cotta pots. And Meyer's Dwarf lemon trees and Rios Red Dwarf Grapefruit trees are available and can be planted in pots. This is healthy and environmental! My fruits/veggies will not be sprayed with pesticides and there is not shipping necessary! I hope this sets a good example for teh country! I also home they compost. I have two homemade vermicomposters.

This is great! Saves money and the environment! Bet the food will taste even better too. Thanks First Lady!

As is her husband, Michelle Obama is a treasure. This Country is so
lucky to have them as our first family. It's been a long time since we had a first lady who was intelligent, gracious, and an amazing role model. The first time Laura Bush spoke her mind about her agreement with pro choice, she was shut up and never had anything
of value to do or say. All the best to you, Michelle. You're an amazing woman.

I think that's an excellent example to set.
