When wading through some gardening posts and articles yesterday, I came across this little gem from <a href="https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2012/06/michelle-obama-delivers-top-10-list-of-gardening-facts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Gossip</a>. Michelle starred on the Dave Letterman show and imparted some of her gardening wisdom.

As we are all very aware, Michelle is quite the gardening buff since she started the White House Vegie Patch. Obviously it’s going well if her gardening facts are anything to go by.

So, just sit back, take in a deep breath and knock these over one-by-one.
