Funny thing, at the same time Mrs Obama is showing everyone how to plant their own garden, her husband is signing laws like Agenda 21 and the Food and Saftey act, stating that is is unlawful to grow your own garden...What's up with this?

Does anyone ever eat a radish?
Yes! Children eat, or at least taste the plants they grow. My children grew up eating sweet radishes. My grandchildren grow radishes and love chopping them for salads. Radishes are one of the easiest plants to grow.

It's great to grow your own veggies in your back yard. Especially when you can't find good organic selections at your local market. It's 1000% return on your investment every time you plant vegetables or fruits. It never fails to amaze me with results sometimes. Keep planting, it' good for you and the planet.

Thank you for your ideas on the basics of gardening with children. I am just starting to garden with my Preschool class and I am learning along with the children as I go!

My 6 yr old has expressed an interest in planting a garden. He is very into the food pyramid and how to get all his veggies in. Luckily he and my soon to be 3 yr old are great eaters. But I do question the radishes. Does anyone every eat a radish? We are starting small, so this my be a good time to get a little variety by adding a single radish plant. Right now I think success with the garden is key. We may not eat them, but we will do our best to grow them.

Living in Iowa, many of us have yards and the weather to grow some vegetables. My grandson wants to grow some this year in his family garden. They asked me my recomendations, I opted for a green pepper plants. They are prolific and sturdy. Pumkins take much more area and stems sometimes will break and not get a crop.
But oh so fun and tasty! Strawberries are recomended for fruit, try everbearing and have fruit to pick all summer long.

Obama White House Garden? OBAMA WHITE HOUSE GARDEN??? Whatever happened to the "Victory Garden," when people were encouraged to plant gardens as their own, individual contribution to our nation and to help themselves? Victory Gardens stood as a symbol of American ingenuity, hard work, and individual enterprise --- good things which seem to have been lost in today's rush to valuing collectivism over individualism and to following rock-star-like leaders!
