I heard Obama was replacing the rose garden with a watermelon patch.
Well, we now have a pig sty inside the WH, so what different is a watermelon patch outside? I grew up on a farm in central Texas and gardens were our main source of food all year. I agree with several other FReepers' comments.
If this happens, everyone will think we are doing this to be part of the Hussein adoring idiots. I've had gardens every year I had enough room to grow plants. I even had tomatoes growing in pots on the patio at the condo we lived in for several years.
Tobacco is the crop I’m thinking of; gives you quite a return on each acre, though I don’t know the exact figures.
In high school (1970’s) a friend’s Dad gave each of the kids a 5 acre plot to grow what they wanted. Lin always planted tobacco. She had a new sports car each year once we could drive and her college fund was completely up to snuff before we graduated.
