I love my little community garden and I'm glad to hear there's support in the White House. It would be great if, as Michael Pollan suggests, they put an organic farm on the White House lawn. It would also be a good stimulus if they supported community gardens, organic farms, farmers markets, Victory Gardens, and the like.

Well family and community gardens were in vogue during the last depression, they may come back in style.

Natural fertilizers are really hard to come by and heirloom plants are getting scarce. This would be a great way to get some biodiversity back into the food system. Depending on a few commercial foods is dangerous.

The worst thing that has happened to us over the last 20 years is losing the family farm also. Michelle should talk to Willie Nelson for the numbers but the family farm was decimated by the agri corporate.

It was a crime what they did to the afro-american farmer they had a stonger connection to the land as not many ever had the chance to own their own.

The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.
