ABC News' Brian Hartman Reports: President Obama's latest shovel-ready project is close to home -- in fact, right in his own yard. In an effort to promote healthy eating, the first family will be planting a vegetable garden right on the White House grounds.
ABC News' Ann Compton and Sunlen Miller report that the new White House vegetable garden will be dug up and planted on the South grounds of the White House -- near the fountain but out of view of the main house.
Though the 16-acre complex is maintained by the National Park Service, one worker who preferred to remain anonymous assured ABC News that National Park Service staff won't do the sowing and planting. The White House residence staff will handle that.

Maybe they read FR and want to have a food supply during the Obama-induced food shortages.
How cute.
I won’t EVEN go there. I have to ask, tho. Is there a courgette for ‘Bwany’?
What the ?
Maybe they can add a little fish pond as well to tide them over when the wagyu beef and arugula runs out.

Are they planting arugula?
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
I thought they already had one, I saw a picture here at F.R. of watermelons growing on the lawn.
Maybe they’ll grow their own arugula.
Yeah, that'll happen.
0bama’s gonna make those little black girls plant his crops.
How racist!
Can’t Obama just wave his mighty hand and produce instant eggplants?

There is a joke in there someplace containing the words house and field.
Well of course. Field hands don' do no gardnin'. Dat's fo de Massa's servants...
I wonder if they are going to plant a little cotton in case of a shortage.
He could use it for trade during Zimbabwe-style hyperinflation!
I think you’re onto something.
In a related story, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn that I’m getting ready to unload if anyone is interested. Cheap!
