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.

I agree.
