“What the heck is “suitable live plant material?”
Suitable live plant material is simply what everyone else plants. No uniqueness or thinking out of the box. Last year, we grew potatoes in our backyard. Most neighbors don’t care on way or the other BUT we do have one neighbor that is a pain. Potatoes? How ugly. You should plant azaleas or something more suitable? You can’t eat azaleas (I said). In Suburban areas (not all but many), people have the tendency to plant what everyone else is planting. Little plants with tons of mulch and no weeds. I think it is more “free” in the country. You plant what you like and that includes vegetables and fruits. (Gee, do you think I wish I lived in a more rural area or what?!!)
Hold your ground. Stay and buy a gun.
Saw on a website somewhere (preparedness, I think) where people planted their vegetables to blend in with their flowers and other shrubs. Unless the neighbors were in the yard a lot, or were told, they probably wouldn’t know the difference.
If a neighbor asks what is is—use the Latin word, such as, Solanum tuberosum.
I would HATE a neighborhood with a Home Owners’ Agreement.
Grew up on a farm in a rural area.
Most people had small tractors to haul the snow away. :)
Garden? Is that the thing you plant in may to harvest in june? ;)
