Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez updated her fans on a plot she’s been tending to in a community garden in D.C. and she was pretty excited that she didn’t kill all the plants during the two-week congressional recess. Well, except for the tomato plant. That one’s DOA:

"I am SHOOK, like honestly, gardening, FOOD– that comes out of dirt… it's Like magic " ~ @AOC I wish the congresswoman cared about border security, growing the economy and other policies that will lift up the entire country as much as she cares about this garden .. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/MKOULq5EKN — Stephanie Hamill (@STEPHMHAMILL) May 1, 2019

“Food — that comes out of dirt — like it’s magic!”
