I got my spinach and peas in last week and the Obamas are only now digging up their lawn? Actually, it's just the right time in Washington, D.C., to begin gardening.

If you look at the plan, the garden is friggin' huge for one family. They'll have a ton of lettuce and spinach in about 8 weeks, depending on their seedlings (which I assume they are using). I bet tomatoes will follow the greens.

Here's the garden plan if you didn't see it in the Times. And who is advising them? Good question...
