Tom Carroll and Hermine Ricketts in their front yard in Miami Shores in 2013. They had to dig up their vegetable garden as they faced code enforcement fines. Florida’s 3rd District Court of Appeal ruled that Miami Shores has the right under its code to control design and landscaping standards. Miami Herald file photo

I used to live in Miami Shores. These people are non-conformists. Similar to earth-mothers.

Plant pots are OK.

Pot plants may be a problem in most States.

Easy solution- just tell the fascist that the produce is being grown to throw at politicians who believe they are dictators

Why would this garden not be grandfathered into compliance.

I assume they can grow flowers with no problem.

I’d grow artichokes, which is a flower, and tell the city to stuff it...............

Know of any other ‘flowers’ that are edible?.............

Yea... Half the problem is their cluttered yard. The other half is they are a mixed race couple. We just can’t have this in our stuck up neighborhood........ That’s why I hate neighborhoods. The associations are always run by busy bodies that think they are important.

“These people are non-conformists.”

OH MY GOD!! Stamp that crap out fast before it spreads!! Next thing you know people will think they are individuals and form opinions!

HOAs utterly suck. Basically you are electing the local military retiree who wants the childlike life existence of life on the military base for everyone.

They can grow fruit in the front yard. Botanically speaking,a tomato is a fruit.

... may grow fruit trees and flowers in the front yard of their Miami Shores house.

I would find all the edible flowers I could and grow them. Artichokes, Capers, etc. Then tell the city to go stuff themselves.............. https://www.southernliving.com/food/entertaining/edible-flowers

I can’t believe they didn’t know the rules going in. Their option is to get the ordinance changed. Doubt that’s possible. Personally I don’t want rows if corn or soybeans in my neighbor’s yards either. Neither do I want a jungle of flowers that aren’t taken care of or a lawn that’s not mowed. If I want to do this things I’ll go buy a farm. I bought where I did because I knew the rules when I signed the papers.

They would have more of my sympathy if they didn’t have that big ugly papaya, which tastes like vomit. The irony is it’s legal in the front yard.
