Tulsa? Good God. what a travesty and sham of a job of “enforcement”. Heads should roll.
Gardening ping?
Hope she wins. My neighbor had a gorgeous vegetable garden on her front lawn, but in boring, stultifying suburbia, the neighbors complained and she was forced to remove it. She’s put her house on the market and sewed the front yard with weeds.
I’ve experienced city inspectors like this. They’re given authority and believe it makes them God. Damn the ordinances, I’m in charge here.
I hope her suit goes through.
I hope the city of Los Altos, California never gets this idea, or Ros Creasy will be in deep kimche. She wrote the book(s) on edible landscaping, and her front and back yards are proof.
Dandelions are also edible...
Poor lady, she was living on Tulsa thyme.
Those idiots sound like they wouldn’t even recognize a grape vine if it grew all over them.
Maybe she could get speedier service in small claims court.
Here is the Google street view of her house. Her big sin is probably upsetting a neighbor with ties to the city because her garden looked like an over-grown lawn. It isn’t exactly a showplace neighborhood. Everything looks like of run-down per street view.
She should have demanded a warrant for removing and damaging her property.
I smell a lawsuit.
Of MoochHell 0bama can dig up the roses and lawn that have been there for decades, in the yard to the mansion that they are squatting in, that belongs to the citizens of the USA, to plant veggies, and be praised by all the world, why can’t a lady do the same on her own property?
(sorry for that horrible sentence construction)
MINT? Never, never let mint get loose in a garden by planting it! Keep it confined in a pot, sunk into the ground, or grow it in an above-ground planter. Once you have it, you can NEVER get rid of that crap! Unless, all you want is mint, mint, mint everywhere.
Every state needs to follow Alabama's lead.
Not only should she be awarded $20 million or more, but the thugs who ordered the cutting should do jail time. No mercy for Nazi thugs.
States needs laws where civil servants who authorize and carry out actions that prove to be illegal/unlawful must be on the hook for 10% of the civil damages that end up being awarded to the victims of their actions (this presumes this woman sues, which she should).
You’d hear a lot less of the civil servants mantra “I don’t care” if they had some skin in the game.
Morrison said she used many of the plants that were destroyed to treat her diabetes, high-blood pressure and arthritis.
“Not only are the plants my livelihood, they’re my food and I was unemployed at the time and had no food left, no medicine left, and I didn’t have insurance,” Morrison said. “They took away my life and livelihood.”
-— This is a little nutty.
Tar and feathers for the overclass.
Sue them!!! Public trough feeders, these idiots just destroyed years of her hard work after giving her reprieve
The concept of what they did to her is astounding to me. Where I live (in a town called Richlands specifically for its agriculture), just about every single property owner uses their land for edible gardens, including me. I can’t imagine anyone having a problem with people providing food for themselves. Especially since healthy eating is the cause du jour right now.
