I'm ...Interesting discussion in your comments. I'm glad I have a big backyard where I can hang out laundry and have vegetable gardens too! Not to mention letting my dandelions and wildflowers grow instead of spraying everything dead! If there was a HOA in my neighborhood, I'd be at the top of their "worst yard" list!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-55169128147108928322010-04-20T11:15:21.116-05:002010-04-20T11:15:21.116-05:00I know, huh? And that's everywhere that has a...I know, huh? And that's everywhere that has a hard-core HOA, even MN! So lesson here is that if you ever move into a neighborhood, stay away from HOA's you will never truly have a private home. It would drive me nuts, and I have to laugh whenever some friends here get together and the conversation turns to the best ways to "hide" tomatoes or pea vines, LOL! In my yard, if it can't be eaten or be beneficial to wildlife, it doesn't rate a space here! It's a crazy world, and getting worse, which is why I'm going to hide from it all Chicken Mama style, lol... I need a good amount of land buffer from the crazy people!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-85869731037542323292010-04-20T10:52:16.006-05:002010-04-20T10:52:16.006-05:00Erin, "ornamentals, which incidentally, have ...Erin, "ornamentals, which incidentally, have to be chosen off of a preapproved list"?!!! In private, single-family homes (and yards)??? Are you freakin' KIDDING ME! <br /><br />Oh. My. God. I would shoot myself. Or them. ('Course, in this day and age you can't even say that in jest, but you get my meaning!) What ever happened to a little thing called AUTONOMY???Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-45920424064481227862010-04-20T10:16:28.533-05:002010-04-20T10:16:28.533-05:00I just saw the question about the "Victory Ga...I just saw the question about the "Victory Garden" and I believe it would probably be a "no"!! Can you believe it? I have friends all over out here on the East Coast that even in a single family home their Homeowner's Association specifically prohibits vegetables, some are "guerrilla gardening", hiding them amongst the ornamentals, which incidentally, have to be chosen off of a preapproved list!

A friend who has a condo in Chicago was just formally BANNED from doing the same. I get that the associations want to avoid places looking scrappy or whatever, but COME ON! I wonder what their reaction would be if you ever asked to turn your tiny yard into a victory garden?!Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-60164133972024310972010-04-20T08:22:49.370-05:002010-04-20T08:22:49.370-05:00We townhome dwellers are not allowed to hang anyth...We townhome dwellers are not allowed to hang anything outside :(<br /><br />Every once in a while I hang a girth over my little fence but that is it.<br /><br />Poor Maisy!<br /><br />This post didn't take the first time.
