I’ll do what ever I damn well want. I don’t take orders from communist.

Just do companion planting! They said it was ok to plant ornamental crops! Put in a row of flowers then a row of carrots a row of sunflowers, a row of corn, a row of potatoes, a row of petunias! Or just surround your property from view of the public with a 12 foot fence, so they won’t have to see it and call it a privacy fence! You still have the right to privacy!
When will they outlaw selling vegetable seeds or sets? This is pure bull$#%&!@*
I live in Ohio and I see lots of gardens. Don’t see them overrun by pesky animals.
They have no integrity.
Government overreach has gotten out of control.
I am an architect and a Vietnam vet so I hate government intrusion, but I was just pointing out the 2 sides of the argument. I would bet that my yard looks worse than yours, but I don’t have close neighbors. Have a nice day.
Idiotic people have done it forever
