Recreate The White House Victory Garden In Your Own Backyard!

I had been wondering about what items were being grown in the new White House "Victory Garden" by the gardeners there, and recently came across this list of items that are/will be grown.

I thought it would be nice to share with you all, for those that may wish to recreate a "White House Victory Garden" in their own yards.I have put a red asterick next to the items that you can find heirloom seed for at: http://www.myvictorygarden.etsy.com/

~Enjoy! --- and Happy Gardening!
