Next year, if President Trump paves over the White House garden for his helipad, we will remember its bushels of kale, its bulbous turnips, its symbolism of a happy, healthy, sustainable America that ate right and stayed active.

“This is my baby,” Michelle Obama said on the South Lawn on Tuesday. It was her eighth and final spring planting, but “hopefully,” she added, “this will not be the last” one ever.
Maybe it will, maybe it won’t. Hillary Clinton’s husband is a vegan, so maybe Farmer Bill will be a thing. It’s hard to imagine Melania Trump in the dirt, on her hands and knees with schoolchildren, as Obama was on this cloudless afternoon, but we’ll keep an open mind.
For now, though, Obama’s garden is as big as ever, at 1,700 square feet. “Churchill” brussels sprouts and “Kentucky colonel” spearmint grow there. There also is garlic and fennel and shallots and endive. There are schoolchildren from Louisiana, Colorado, Wisconsin and Northwest Washington — free child labor enlisted to press seedlings into the dirt and to learn, over and over, that vegetables are good for you (except radishes, which are an abomination).
About 1:30 p.m. the first lady literally jogged into the garden area. It was 43 degrees. She was not wearing a jacket.
“You might be more interested in eating your vegetables if you know what they look like,” Obama told the students. A bitter breeze nipped at her bare ankles. Some of the students covered their ears with mittened hands. FLOTUS was all pep.

Plant terrorists.. Not turnips.
Hillary Clinton's husband is a vegan.
Right, a vegan and he's never cheated on Hillary either.
Baby plants are wonderful.
Baby humans (the unwanted ones), not so much.
When the government shutdown happened, that garden got weeded out quickly, because did not work one minute on it.
She’s a liar...and a grifter.
I didn’t know Pu**y was a vegetable...
Trump digging it up and putting a landing strip for his gas Hogg airplane would be awesome. I know impossible. But maybe a gas pump for his plane. Anything to take that godforsaken garden away.
Michelle likes ribs with her veggies...
Plow it under.
300 days till we call a fumigator...
Oh...I thought it might be poison oak, or a Venus flytrap.
Abort it. Now.
Pfft!
And the comments were just as sickening.
That’s not how I dress to work in my vegetable garden...
No its not 300 days...
its 289 days...
just ask Laz, our leader of the Church of the Dwindling Days...

She must feel punished.
While the nation is punished with an unwanted presidency.
Thank you !
