First Lady Michelle Obama's 1,100 square foot vegetable garden was planted in 2009 on the White House's South Lawn and
grows arugula, cilantro, tomatillo, hot peppers, spinach, chard, collards, black kale, berries, lettuce, anise hyssop, and
Thai basil.
One of the girls actually crushed peanuts using the side of a bowl, and someone foraged some
Thai basil growing wild, while the others ran into their rooms and got some fruit from the complimentary fruit bowl to add some punch to their salad.
