Anne Raver of the New York Times has done a nice job writing up the home garden/victory garden revival now under way and my work in that. She also mentions the online effort KGI has started to turn part of the White House lawn back into an edible landscape. You can read all about it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/17/garden/17garden.html
Once you've read the article, please consider sharing it using the Times' "e-mail a friend" feature and their social networking tools. It's still a very rare day when the terms "gardening", "peak oil", "local foods", "White House" and "food pantry" find their way into a NY Times article, but it shouldn't be. If we can build a little online energy around the article and its ideas, we may even manage to catch the attention of the presidential campaigns.
