The gardeners are not allowed to harvest the crops, a White House source told Obama Foodorama. Weeds are springing up everywhere, and the vegetables that have already fallen off the vines are now mouldering on the ground.

There are also mushrooms popping up inside and outside the garden beds, and leaf litter raining from the trees like confetti. The wildlife that lives on the historic 18-acre campus--including a newly arrived fox now making a home at the White House--are having a field day.

What is standard practice in the average citizen's home garden typically does not go on in Mrs. Obama's vegucation showcase. Mature plants are routinely socked into the beds to keep the garden looking lush and full.

A huge lemongrass plant, beloved by Executive Chef Cris Comerford for her Asian-inflected dishes, has been untouched during the shutdown, except for watering.

So PETA is in heaven, the First Lady stuffs, and the royal chef is still on the job but doesn't like to get her hands dirty.

Zitat
Some of the crops, such as the heirloom Tennis Ball lettuce that's now yellowing in its bed, pay homage to President Thomas Jefferson. Perhaps America's best-known presidential gardener would have much to say about the current state of affairs in DC--as a farmer, and as a statesman astonished by partisan brinksmanship.

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

"If people can�t trust not only the executive branch but also don�t trust Congress, and don�t trust federal judges, to make sure that we�re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we�re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013

The growing season in the North East ended last month. There are no crops other than punkins and gourdes that would be in anyone's garden right now. This is a bullshit story.
