"This stuff was trucked in I'm sure. Many, many cubic feet were needed to fill this 1,100 sq foot garden. WHO supplied the soil? OR: WHAT was it amended with? Its’ possible that the garden is not as ORGANIC as advertised."

Wasn't there a photo comparison on drudge when they harvested? It was like 35 days after planting and the garden went from seedlings to tremendous plants.

My first thought was that they had someone re-planting bigger plants constantly to show how great their garden is.

Really... 35 days from seedlings to harvest? Let's assume a full time gardener is there to take care (obviously). That is a little quick right? Mid June and harvesting? I don't know Washington D.C., but it sounds early...

So what is the point of the lead thing? Are we being set up for new regulations or is it an innocent thing? [tongue only half in cheek] gardening and home improvement would be a nice big industry for Obama, Inc. to take over.

“Really... 35 days from seedlings to harvest?”

Not really, they are spring harvest vegetables. And it wasn’t 35 days, they were in the ground longer.

I checked the Burpee seed catalog and found you could plant seeds in March and harvest in June. They planting seedlings, not seeds.

I didn’t believe it either until I checked. Some can be harvested from seeds in as little as 45 days. Seedlings already have a couple of weeks already.

And you can bet they were taken care of by the WH gardeners while the Zeroes were shopping in London and Paris.

You can be darn sure that Ms. O did about .010 percent of the work that was required to create, maintain and deliver this garden.

Many of the plants are certainly transplants that were started elsewhere. Of course, the media will not mention this as they have little care themselves; let alone the truth be told.

However, yes it is quite possible to bring these veggies to fruition within this time period.

I sowed Radishes, Lettuce and Pea on 3/28 of this year.
I was picking radishes in late April, lettuce a week or so later(still am by the way), and the peas started ripening around the second week of June.(They are just about over now).
