Then you have the trellises and all the rest of the stuff that looks really tacky in a nice neighborhood. I think people hide a tomato or two in the shrub border, but more than that is inconsiderate of your neighbors. I have gardened for over forty years and I would definitely seek an alternative site such as a community garden to raise my veggies and herbs.

For newbies or persons considering buying, if you are a gardener and considering putting in a veggie garden, you really need to check the deed restrictions. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they are not allowed, at least in villages south of 466. If you have a neighbor that complains and reports you, you could be out of luck as far as your garden. I believe container plantings are allowed. I agree Happydaz, gardens can get really sloppy looking.
