Quantcast

Hey! Who's been tending Michelle Obama's veggie garden?

Dwight-AFCL>dogsbody 2012/08/16 18:22:29
I have not seen or heard mention of the Obama's veggie garden since it was first dug, so I wonder who's tending it. Any clown with sense to crack a book know's gardening takes work, and that means more than just photo op time out there.

Between weeding and pruning a productive garden takes care, especially if you refuse to use pesticides, which I believe the First Lady decried as she posed for the garden Ground Breaking ceromony. I don't have a huge plot but I still have to put in at least an hour or two per day just to keep weeds from taking over. Checking for various pests like cut worms and other critters that enjoy a nice cuccumber or ear of corn means finding the buggers Before they get into the veggy, not after. Few people want a half eaten tomato.


So I'm asking the SH community, have any of you seen Michelle Obama in her garden lately? Are Jose and Jesus doing it for her?

Yes I know she is the First lady, doing her duty to keep hubby employeed. Meeting with important donors and taking vacations around the world. But she spent a fair bit of energy telling us all how important and beneficial growing our own food is. So I think it is fair to discover how much time she has spent feeding her family from her garden.
You!

    There's a staff with about three people taking care of the garden full time, plus volunteers.

    And Michelle, when there are cameras there.

    Did they replant the grass? Suspicously absent from public knowledge. I can't imagine why.

    When she did that cooking show, didn't she have to buy her vegetables because she didn't have any because of some chemical that they found in the soil in her garden? She let the viewers think the vegetables were hers. Again, not quite the whole truth.

    I did not see that or hear of that show. Seeing that the garden was plowed on the WH lawn there is no telling what pest or herbicides were sprayed over the years.

    Yep, she went on a cooking show and acted like it was her vegetables she was cooking. A little blurb later said they couldn't use vegetables from her "garden" and that the vegetables were bought at the grocery store. Somewhere there was a story about some sort of toxins in the soil and the vegetables were unusable. I don't know if it is still true especially since we have been hearing more about portion control instead of growing your own vegetables.

    This whole veggie garden is a massive con, just like her interference with the Restaurant Association, trying to regulate "portion size". The left is all about appearances, talking the talk, but when it comes to walking the walk, Michelle and Barry opt for a BIG MAC and greasy fries.(ie. PHOTO OP., of course).

    Yes, I can't see her keeping those arms and shoulders without a good portion of protein.
