Get a couple of raccoons; they'll keep the squirrels at bay, and it will only cost you a couple of peanut butter & honey sandwiches and some three-flavor dry catfood every evening.
And anyone who envisions Mamma Obama out there, on her knees, in her cotton-pickin' gear, conscientiously weeding her precious salad greens, while fending off marauding wildlife has simply been indulging themselves in too much of a whole other kind of weed, let's face it. It's called 'Michelle Obama's Kitchen Garden' only in the sense that she lives somewhere in the neighborhood, so don't get out your cameras, Tourists. Instead, tell your politicians how much you love them and why. While Michelle raises salad greens, raise a little Hell....
