The law is SB82. The text in question is here:

the numbers 21, 22, 23, and 24 are line numbers. I bolded the applicable part.

As I said before - there's no room for interpretation. It is very specific and precise.
We will see. I have been here for more than a dozen years. My money is on the no vegetable gardens in the front yard. I doubt we have many who want to plant them anyway, but we sure do have some who like to debate. And like to be right. I don't give a hill of beans.
