Barack-oli': See Michelle Obama's Attempt at Comedy While Delivering Letterman's Top 10 List

"Later this year the Supreme Court will finally rule on 'tomato' vs. 'tomahto.'"

First Lady Michelle Obama made yet another late-night appearance on Tuesday evening, where she presented David Letterman's Top 10 list.

Obama, who is on a publicity tour to promote her new book, "American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America," delved into the "Fun Facts of Gardening."

Rather than appearing in-studio, Obama spoke from the White House Map Room. Considering the comedic nature of the show -- and the Top 10 list, itself -- Obama's list was, of course, crafted to create laughs. From quips about the Supreme Court ruling on "tomato" versus "tomahto" to mentions of growing "Barack-oli," Obama certainly can't be faulted for trying.

Here's the complete gardening list, as she presented it on "Late Night":

No. 10: Gardening was invented in 1822 by Albert Gardener.

No. 9: Plant avocados, tomatoes, onions and cilantro together and grow a guacamole tree.

No. 8: Eggplants were originally cultivated for use as doorstops.

No. 7: In his lifetime, the average American will eat half a radish.

No. 6: The largest zucchini ever grown contained a Starbucks.

No. 5: Later this year the Supreme Court will finally rule on "tomato" vs. "tomahto."

No. 4: If you have an actual green thumb, it might be scurvy.

No. 3: Lettuce is 96 percent water and 4 percent lettuce.

No. 2: The White House tool shed contains shovels, trowels and Weed Whacker One.

No. 1: "With enough care and effort you can grow your own Barack-oli."

Watch Obama deliver her list, below:
