The snow has finally melted in our garden, so it's time to start work. Since we live in the suburbs, about half a zone colder than DC, I'd expect the avid gardeners at the White House and USDA to be working the soil and close to planting. (I bought onion sets today--together with peas they're the first things we grow in the spring. Some years we've had peas in the ground for a couple weeks by now, but March 15 is the target date.)
Since I'm cynical, I wouldn't be surprised if there's less PR about the WH and USDA gardens this year. But I'd like to be surprised. So, a challenge--tell your devoted public every day you plant something. And I hope the WH is making less use of transplants this year.
