You forgot the most important reason for butting in. The garden permit people will be required to purchase.

Is this like registering guns? Don’t register anything with the government except cars and deeds. Register your gardens so that government agents can check to see if you are up to code or if you’re growing something some corporation has patented or. . .

No. For the same reason I won’t ever register a firearm.

It’s none of their damn business.

Garden registration is like gun registration. The evil bastards want to know who has what so it can be confiscated at a future time.

Never thought we’d see the possibility of gunfights over a head of cabbage, but here we are.

But judging from the wimpy, whining bureaucrat’s reactions to getting thrown overboard and told to swim or drown, the government will lose badly in trying to control carrot patches.

“Cauliflower? That’s a colonialist crop. You MUST plant collard greens!”

The globalists are claiming that growing your own food is bad for the environment.
They want to control everything we eat.
They can’t have independence from their evil control.

It’s a WEF goal to stop all gardening.

Hey Elon, you missed one.

Send the link to his DOGE account on X, if you have an X account. I would, but I'm not on X.

I have an unlicensed lemonade stand in a vegetable garden surrounded by guards bearing ghost guns.

Good idea. I never thought of using them like that.

The thing is, things have gotten so bad under our current government that this is feasible.

And all one has to do is look at history, Stalin for example, and see where he confiscated all the produce a farm produced and left the family to starve for the winter.

Yes, which is why I’m trying to relearn and then pass on all the knowledge about growing things my grandmother came from the old country knowing.

So much lost in one generation. It’s heartbreaking.

So I’m buying only non-hybrid (heirloom or open pollinated) seeds and learning how to save them myself.

It’s a process.

most Homeowner's Associations frown on vegetable gardens over regular landscaping

HOA's frown on everything.

You are to come to the house you think you own but are actually leasing, pull in the garage, close the garage door, eat a bowl of oatmeal, sit quietly in your front room with the shades (only the kind and color the HOA allows) open at the precise angle they tell you and then go to bed at 9:00. In the morning you will arise at 7:00, have some more oatmeal with glass of tepid water and leave for work by 7:30. On the weekend you are allowed to go outside for one hour to mow your lawn with an electric mower. A person with a micrometer will be coming around to make sure you cut it to the exact height stipulated, no more, no less.

Doing anything else will result in fines and the HOA taking your house away.

Yep. Certainly NOT the life for me.

If I can’t chase down a chicken or a hunting dog or a loose steer in my jammies and barn boots at all hours of the day or night, I’m not living there! ;)

I haven’t had a neighbor in sight in 30+ years - and it obviously shows, LOL!

I agree. There’s no reason to trust Mother Government to do the right thing. Ever.
