Hoe, Hoe, Hoe & a Little Dig, Dig, Dig

Can you see any other first lady doing this? If she is a gardener, she's my kind of people.

WASHINGTON – Twenty-six elementary schoolchildren wielded shovels, rakes, pitchforks and wheelbarrows to help first lady Michelle Obama break ground for a produce and herb garden on the White House grounds.

Crops to be planted in the coming weeks on the 1,100-square-foot, L-shaped patch near the fountain on the South Lawn include spinach, broccoli, various lettuces, kale and collard greens, assorted herbs and blueberries, blackberries and raspberries.

There will also be a beehive.

"We're going to try to make our own honey here as well," Mrs. Obama told the students from Bancroft Elementary School in Washington. The school has its own community garden.

Ground is broken for White House 'kitchen garden'

She wants to lead by example. She realizes that all Americans will soon be needing to grow some of their own food as they're not going to be able to afford to buy it.

Then shouldn't she have on knee pads, grubby clothes, and sunblock?
 
Oh the irony.
It used to be the white man enslaving the blacks for labor out in the field.
Now it's a black women enslaving white children for labor in the field.
 
I've always liked this bit of knowledge about hoes and rakes.
