So, if you look around and you look in any other community, what's common to a front yard is a nice, grass yard with beautiful trees and bushes and flowers," he said.

Wouldn't it be cool if all her neighbors planted front yard gardens? Then that would be common for the area.

I live in the Detroit area and am very familiar with this. It’s over!

Not according to the link at post #7:

On Thursday, prosecutor Eugene Lumberg told The Detroit News that he plans to take a closer look at the issue.
"I want to look at it, I want to see the facts, I want to see where this vegetable garden is going and make a determination of whether or not to prosecute under the existing ordinance, write a new ordinance and (examine) the public welfare," Lumberg said.

Seems like they might write a new law to make it illegal.

Thank you for the info. They are so close to me. I’ll check with them.

Loquats are so easy to grow and I see them all over the place in Los Angeles. It is also called nispero in South America.
