Folks, please look at the photos. We are talking about raised beds in this garden that are full of high carbon, nitrogen rich, “black gold”, hummus soil.
Little of the White House's existing soil was used as a growing medium.
This stuff was trucked in I'm sure. Many, many cubic feet were needed to fill this 1,100 sq foot garden.
WHO supplied the soil? OR: WHAT was it amended with?
Its’ possible that the garden is not as ORGANIC as advertised.

Wasn't there a photo comparison on drudge when they harvested? It was like 35 days after planting and the garden went from seedlings to tremendous plants.
My first thought was that they had someone re-planting bigger plants constantly to show how great their garden is.
Really... 35 days from seedlings to harvest? Let's assume a full time gardener is there to take care (obviously). That is a little quick right? Mid June and harvesting? I don't know Washington D.C., but it sounds early...
So what is the point of the lead thing? Are we being set up for new regulations or is it an innocent thing? [tongue only half in cheek] gardening and home improvement would be a nice big industry for Obama, Inc. to take over.

If you put 2+2 together you come up with they trucked in lead contaminated soil for an organic gardening. Now that is too funny!
As a sidenote, who gardens in white pants? When I work in my garden, I am not about to wear white or any other light color.

Not all veggies are in raised beds.
There are photos floating around of shovels being used. I don't recall if the children were digging or raking. No one does this on newly placed raised beds.
Isn't there a photo of mooshelle on her knees planting? There was no indication the soil was in raised beds.

Important point to keep in mind. The trucked in organic soil was full of lead.
I still think Obama should resign over “LeadGate”.
