BS. You can not day what I can and can’t grow on my property as long as its not illegal.
Insanity!
WTF!
Unfortunately growing vegetables is hard work and a lot of people don’t want to do it. We have vegetables and you would be disgusted by how many won’t garden but want the handouts. So many people have yards for gardens but only worry about their green lawns. What a waste. Homegrown vegetables are the best. Americans need to fight this!
Bull!!
Wtf
I think it should be illegal to have liberals breathe the same air as I do. I’m scared I may get sick by their thoughts.
Who is going to stop them?l
These judges are absolutely nuts
Raised beds are a great solution. My husband and boys made us several. They purchased left over or discontinued supplies from Menards or garden centers. Made them cheap, nice looking and less strain on the back… Win, win.
