New law - vegetable home gardens OK
 
Corn, cabbage and soybeans..Oh My! (till here)

Quote:

Florida towns that outlawed home vegetable gardens for "aesthetic purposes" can no longer do so starting July 1.

So says a new state law that comes after a couple in Miami Shores Village unsuccessfully contested in Florida's courts a $50 a day fine for growing vegetables in their front yard, as they'd done for years

A 600-square-foot garden that costs around $70 a year to cultivate can grow 300 pounds of fresh produce worth about $600 annually, the National Gardening Association estimates.


A new topic to knock 'dog poop' off...as the leading complaint? :popcorn:

I'll be keeping a few goats, too - I hope they're allowed?

Thanks for the link. Some very beautiful gardens! The key is maintenance.

Wasn't the prehistoric section built in what had been a watermelon field?

Heck, herbs such as rosemary and dill, tomatoes, carrots and lettuce would be nice. Watermelon, zucchini and cucumbers. Yum.
