Obama Grows Vegetables

Obama, president of America and his wife, Michelle, helps dig the first vegetable and fruit patch at their new home, the White House. The First Lady and a group of school pupils helped build a kitchen garden which can help feed Obama and his family along with official visitors. Talking about her children Malia and Sasha, she said: "My girls like vegetables more if they taste good."An L shaped garden near a fountain on the South lawn included vegetables and fruits that were spinach, carrots, lettus, and black berries. There will also be a beehive. Obama hopes to provide the First family, staff and visitors with their own White House honey.6 students that helped with the garden will be back next year to harvest the foods. Some of the food was also decided to be donated to charities.
