First lady Melania Trump helped children from organizations in the District of Columbia harvest vegetables and plant a fall crop in the White House garden on Friday.

The “White House Kitchen Garden” and the tradition of inviting local children to take part in planting and harvesting was started by former First Lady Michelle Obama

Melania Trump is continuing the tradition, this year with children from the Girls and Boys Club of Greater Washington and FBR Clubhouse.

Trump greeted the children, one of whom asked if she was Melania Trump.

“Yes, I am the first lady for those of you who don’t know me,” Trump said.

“I just want to welcome you the White House and thank you for coming and helping me to harvest and plant the vegetables in the beautiful garden,” Trump said. “So I think we will have a lot of fun.”

Trump, who donned red gloves that matched perfectly with her red country-style shirt, told the children they would be given samples of honey from the White House beehives to share with their families before joining them to pull up bright orange carrots and pick vine-ripened red tomatoes.

Our agrigarian culture has been decimated. You raise food, you are backwards and racist. Burger King junkies have no clue. The rancher feeds us all (well, we eat all we can and sell the rest😁). They want to penalize producers. The Trumps can fix this.

Kale is the only thing I can think of that would provide a fall to early winter crop.

Ever try jelly beans?
