In keeping with the trend started by First Lady Obama at the White House, Queen Elizabeth has given the OK to create an organic vegetable garden at Buckingham Palace, ABC News reported. It has been decades since the palace has had a vegetable patch. During World War I, turnips grew among the exotic plants and flowers. The vegetable plot is called the “Yard Bed” and is located at the back of the palace's 40-acre garden.

that is just great, thank goodness for Mrs Obama I am from England and am amazed they didn't have one before the Queen is very frugal Claire.
