I was thinking earlier today about how it would be cool to have a t-
shirt that said, "Be like Michelle. Plant a Victory Garden." My city
is starting one, and I am very much involved from the ground up
(pun). I've volunteered to help construct raised beds because I've
done it in my own back yard, and I really want to help my community
get on the program.

To tell the truth, I've never been great at gardening, but the idea of
growing my own food has always been darned near an obsession. The new
LED grow lights offer the promise of practical basement gardening,
especially raising tomatoes and chiles for future transplant. I also
bought a rosemary plant for my garden. Fresh rosemary is so much
better than dried.

Michelle, you rock, and I hope you can inspire people to grow
veggies.
