Mrs......Michelle Obama harvests fruits of organic garden

US First Lady Michelle Obama has rolled up her sleeves to harvest some of the vegetables she planted in the White House kitchen garden in April.

The mum-of-two was joined by the same group of 25 local children who helped in planting the seedlings in the 1,100-square-foot L-shaped plot on the South Lawn.

While the group concentrated on picking lettuce and peas, the garden has also produced broccoli, aubergines and herbs, which are garnered every night.

A champion of healthy eating, Mrs Obama – who is a big fan of organic produce – ensured the vegetables were grown without using fertiliser or herbicide. The White House soil had been “Amended”, however, with crab meal from the Chesapeake Bay, green sand compost, and lime powder, say officials.

Afterwards the green-fingered workers enjoyed a picnic during which 45-year-old Michelle thanked them, saying: "Today is the culmination of a lot of hard work"

VIOLENCE IN CROSS RIVER LEAVES 30 DEAD INCLUDING VILLAGE RULER AND 4 POLICEMEN

30 people were allegedly killed while four police officers and the village head of Ntan Obu Ukpe in Eniong in Odukpani local government area of Cross River State were beheaded in a communal clash between the Ntan Obu and the Ikpanya in Ibiono local government area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday. According to a local newspaper, about 2,000 indigenes of Ntan Obu were forced to take refuge in nearby communities of Odukpani council as many houses including churches were destroyed during the crisis. The Chairman of Odukpani Local council, Stephen Asuquo, while confirming the incident, told journalists that the people of Ntan Obu were attacked by the Ikpanaya neighbouring community of Akwa Ibom State, last week. "The remote cause, I can say, is the struggle by people from the Ikpanya for the land that belongs to the Ntan Obu.Ikpanya is in Ibiono council of Akwa Ibom State while Ntan Obu is in Odukpani council in Cross River State," he said.
