My mom had a garden for the entire time I was growing up. We were poor, and it was food.

Why the hell do these people think GARDENS are elitist?

The garden grows so fast because of all the nutrients from the bodies buried below.

/Has the produce been checked for nano-thermate residue?

I think the conspiracy theorists are real vegetables.

I don't know what it's been like in DC, but Grandma tells me that Jersey has been especially hot, much earlier than usual, and it's been raining alot. Maybe it's a good year for gardening in the NE.

Clearly, the garden was harvested by a controlled demolition.

The irony is that anyone who is so sheltered as to thinking you can just stick things back in the ground after they've been pulled, washed, the roots and leaves chopped off, processed and shipped to a grocery store, has never had to do manual labor in a garden or on a farm. But yeah, keep screaming how they're the OMG, ELITISTS!!! brave internet warrior.

When I was a kid, working in our garden, I would swear that I would never have a garden because I thought it was the mark of being poor. Now that I'm older and having lived in apartments, I want a garden so badly.
/homegrown tomatoes.. mmmmmm

It's not a garden; it's a holographic representation of a garden superimposed on a cruise missile that they're going to fly into the Pentagon.

Freakin' sheeple.

I hope you enjoy your smug, elitist vegetables, Dr. Mrs. President Barama.

I saw the layout of her garden in a news story a while back. Nice mixture of stuff. I started small this year and have been very pleased with the results.

The tomatoes are about to explode!

Fake or real garden? WHO FARKING CARES?

...for fark's sake. This isn't even the first White House vegetable garden. You guys remember WW2-era Looney Tunes when everyone was bringing up 'victory gardens'?

Yeah. White House did that.

Gosling: ...for fark's sake. This isn't even the first White House vegetable garden. You guys remember WW2-era Looney Tunes when everyone was bringing up 'victory gardens'?

Yeah. White House did that.

It's the first White House garden since Eleanor Roosevelt.

/great-grandparents had victory garden
//great-grandma was an air raid warden

Obama detractors are suggesting that the garden on the South Lawn (planted by Obama and schoolchildren in March) is fake. The conspiracy theorists claim that, despite a lot of compost and a very rainy spring, the vegetables harvested by the first lady and those same schoolchildren last week could not have grown so big in just 90 days.

As the son of someone who enjoys tending to her own backyard garden- albeit in Wisconsin- yeah, you can in fact get some fairly impressive results in three months if you know what you're doing.

Gosling: You guys remember WW2-era Looney Tunes when everyone was bringing up 'victory gardens'?

Communists. Every goddamn one of them.

In Obama's Missus's garden in the shade?

Gosling: As the son of someone who enjoys tending to her own backyard garden- albeit in Wisconsin- yeah, you can in fact get some fairly impressive results in three months if you know what you're doing.

And hers is organic, to boot. Maybe that's the real issue here. "You can't get results like that without soaking the garden in chemicals!"

Of course the White House garden is blooming! It's tended by negroes!

/JK. I think the White House garden is awesome. If I didn't live on a protected historical site, I plant one myself. Gobama.

The collard greens were the giveaway.

Looks Shopped.

The Republicans need to make this scandal the centerpiece of the next election campaign.

What did they plant and when did they plant it.
Fox News could go live with Geraldo digging up the
remains. REMEMBER VEGI-GATE!

You know you're irrelevant when this is your talking point. Even if true (which is an absurdity), you have been taking valuable resources from other people, if this is your focus.

from the comments section:



"But I am a liberal feminist gardener, so of course I can't be objective."

Thi is the one thing you're correct about. And this is why the media is no longer credible - because they're NO LONGER OBJECTIVE!





alright, which of you farkers is trolling that article?

Quick question: The White House and it's surrounding area aren't a historical site?

I wish I could cook collards properly. I love 'em!

...you aren't talking to me, right? Because my mother thought her three children were given to her to weed, pick, and haul water. And as the owner of the pony, I alone got the prime duty of hauling horse shiat to a pile to get "weathered" and then hauling it into the garden.

/homegrown tomatoes.. mmmmmm

The funny thing is, I can't keep a house plan alive. My mom had over an acre of perfectly neat rows of herbs, fruits and vegetables, and I've killed a cactus.

In fact, when I she was at my house recently she confiscated some...green thing because she said I had "mistreated" it.

CitizenTed: If I didn't live on a protected historical site, I plant one myself. .

....doesn't she?

I can tell by some of the leaves and from seeing a few dodgy vegetable gardens in my time.

Hell, you can get impressive results if you DON'T know what you're doing

/DAMN, I have a lot of tomatoes.

Dancin_In_Anson: Diogenes: The collard greens were the giveaway.

Save some bacon grease and cook them up in that. Have some nice malt vinegar around for enjoyment as well, and save the bacon to toss in the greens once cooked.

If you cant get it right with that, give up on collards and have someone else cook them haha.

/has a huge organic garden

Well, to be fair, it's easy to have a garden Jesus tends to it 5 times a day.

Gosling: As the son of someone who enjoys tending to her own backyard garden- albeit in Wisconsin- yeah, you can in fact get some fairly impressive results in three months if you know what you're doing.

i 3 months even in mass, i'll have enough tomatoes to eat for a year

Why do people feel the need to attach the word -GATE to every conspiracy or corruption as though it actually means something?

WATERGATE was named for the HOTEL where shiit happened.
It was not a conspiracy about WATER.

Dancin_In_Anson: I saw the layout of her garden in a news story a while back. Nice mixture of stuff. I started small this year and have been very pleased with the results.

The tomatoes are about to explode!

Yeah, I don't know what's going on this year, but I got a few humongous tomatoes ripening up in my little garden... usually it's the zucchinis that get to state farm competition size, but this year it's tomatoes.... could be all the rain we've got here in South Eastern MA the last few weeks. Don't know, but I do know I'm going to enjoy eating those suckers.

The commenters on his article successfully trolled him. What an idiot.

This is downright pathetic.

mrEdude: WATERGATE was named for the HOTEL where shiit happened.

That's what they want you to think.

Durendal: Fake or real garden? WHO FARKING CARES?

THIS THIS A THOUSAND TIMES THIS!

It's funny how the folks that laughed at that hi-larious PhotoShopped watermelon patch on the White House lawn are now whining about Michelle Obama's fake garden.

I'm tired of trying to treat Republicans like human beings and them refusing to meet me halfway by acting like human beings.

Dancin_In_Anson: I saw the layout of her garden in a news story a while back. Nice mixture of stuff. I started small this year and have been very pleased with the results.

What the hell am I doing wrong? I have blossoms, but no tomatoes starting yet. I thought moving as far south as Boston meant I would be rolling in tomatoes by July. Not even close.

CitizenTed: Of course the White House garden is blooming! It's tended by negroes!

/JK. I think the White House garden is awesome. If I didn't live on a protected historical site, I plant one myself. Gobama.

Wait. The White House isn't a protected historical site?

Which is the pitiful part?
The "nothing better to biatch about" losers that care about the garden possibly being fake or that someone from the Baltimore Sun wrote a farking article about a those guys?

Well, if all politics is local, I guess all local vegetables are political.
Way to wrap it up toots.

/And that's the way the cookie crumbles.

I don't own the estate; I'm a tenant. And I'm not a presidential tenant. But the first $17M I find, this place is MINE.

Try adding sugar and bacon grease. Thats how my mom would make them and I haven't tasted better.

/Mom was a yankee, so she did things different than most southerners.
//Sugar kills the bitterness

it was thermite.

What do you libs expect? We're still waiting to see BHO's birth certificate... why should we believe where his crops were born either?

Article and thread worthless without pics!
