I haven’t seen the Obamas’ garden, but my own, planted about 25 miles away, is going insane this summer. Strawberries, rhubarb, peas, onions, raspberries—everything is growing like mad. We were eating the first produce this weekend. The tomatoes are still lagging, however. I have to cut my grass every five minutes and the bushes in my yard have doubled in size since last year. The amazing quantities of rain make all the difference, since rain contains nitrogen and doesn’t have the chlorine of city water.
The conspiracy theorists may simply not be living in this area.
They've probably never grown much of anything either.
Gotta love that N2O.
Do you think chlorine holds back plant growth?
