I would like to see some pictures of her garden. If it was anything like what the guy next door is growing I would have cheered to have it removed.

IF as she said it was well maintained then this is absolutely awful.

IF it is the rat trap that is next door—— burn it to the ground.

You know, if you really would like to see the garden in question, you could click the link.

By doing that, you would become informed, and decide if the lady should be able to have a garden, or if you think the local authorities should vandalize it.

Your approach is incredibly subjective. I think that your house is a rat trap, so give me your address and I’ll call the authorities to burn it to the ground. No need to send me a picture, I already know it’s a rat haven.

Forgot to mention, your approach is very authoritarian, like a NAZI.

This is the red flag for me:

She obtained the local ordinances and followed every rule to the tee. She made sure that everything in her garden had a purpose, and that her garden looked its best at all times.

This struck me as a case of an offender brazenly violating the spirit of the law by carefully following it "to the letter" while paradoxically claiming the moral high ground.

Reminds me of the deceptive packaging and labeling of products. The manufacturers boast [and their defense is] that there is no deception, because "everything is on the label".

Yeah, like the ice cream box that has a faux (i.e. incomplete) ingredient list on one side beginning with "Contains:" and then in small print below, words that go something like "Full ingredient list on back".

Considering that the images in her defense are of limited scope (and don't look that great at that), it could be that this yard was a heinous rat trap from hell but this woman made sure she was not technically in violation. Any dustup and she becomes the victim.

Just my two pennywort...
