The First Lady's public relations effort continues to fire on all cylinders. Thursday, CBS' Nancy Cordes covered Michelle Obama's outreach to Washington DC's public high schools as she organized celebrity appearances by 21 famous women at eleven area schools. Now ABC's Yunji de Nies files from the White House grounds as the President's wife breaks ground on its first vegetable patch since Eleanor Roosevelt's victory garden during World War II. "The Obamas will plant 55 varieties of organic vegetables," de Nies announced. NBC's Chris Jansing used the First Vegetables as a news hook to survey a nationwide gardening resurgence. "Community gardens are sprouting new pots in record numbers," she declared, as she visited Irish Eyes Garden Seeds in Washington State, whose catalogue business is booming. The recession helps sales, Jansing pointed out. A $2.50 package of lettuce seeds, grown right, can produce 800 heads.
