Queen`s New Vegetable Garden

Here's the new vegetable garden at Buckingham Palace. It`s roughly 11 metres by 4 metres, and contains such favourites as planted with tomatoes, runner beans, onions, leeks and carrots.

It's the first time vegetables have been grown at Buckingham Palace since the second World War.

On the other side of the Atlantic, Michelle Obama, who is well into ecogardening, is doing more to use the scraps from the kitchen to turn into compost. The First Lady`s vegetable garden is apparently thriving.

Pretty soon we might see a competition between Washington and London to see who grows the best cucumbers!
