I like these topics y’all have suggested. I am not technically allowed to garden by my HOA rules, but nobody seems to care too much if it’s kept out of view and in containers. I am learning to adapt to it, and I bet there are plenty more who don’t have much space to work with.
My aunt lived in a 50+ neighborhood with an HOA. She grew up on a farm with a vegetable garden & her first home was not HOA so she & my uncle had a big garden & he propagated boxwoods. When she moved to the HOA neighborhood, of course she had to have a garden! She had squash, cukes, peppers & gosh knows what else growing next to the back of her house interspersed with the landscape bushes. I do not know how she got away with growing tomatoes in the front bushes next to her stoop, but she did. A neighbor living behind her was Vietnamese and had a patio with a short wall around it & she grew all sorts of veggies & herbs in that location. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, although you may have to use some ‘camouflage’! :-)
