It’s summertime, so let’s harvest some locally-grown, organic outrage. A Michigan woman is facing up to 93 days in jail for planting a vegetable garden in her own front yard.
This stuff writes itself.

Everyone is going to jail in the P state that is, the new USA.
Anyone over the age of five who uses the word “veggies” in place of “vegetables” should go to jail.
And while we are here, taze anyone who uses “legos” instead of “Lego”.
Thank you.
First Obama stops all economic growth
How quaint
Shut down coal ( dirty)
Shut down oil
etc etc
regulations to waste our time
Yet he flies around like Air Force One was his toy
Michelle to South Africa
Golfing
Now they won’t even grow food
What is next when water utilities are too expensive
No outhouses allowed ?
Jeeezzz…. only in America!
It’s almost here…..
Good government regulation to have to protect neighboring property values. That shit belongs in a farm.
Dallas? YOU belong on a farm.
A funny one.
#27 He does, a pet sheeple farm. The main attraction there.
I guess our Declaration of Independence “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” and our Constitution 5th Amendment protections to our “life, liberty, or property,”; that we cannot be deprived of any of them without due process of law MEANS NOTHING TO OUR GOVERNMENT.
I guess both Declaration of Independence and Constitution are just inconvenient truths to our Government and they can ignore them as they please.
#23, Alphie
Your underwear is showing.
Looks about a million times better than the standard “green parking lot” look of most lawns. I guess they don’t like their neighborhoods to attract people and their families.
The world of the free as we know it.
I think lots of cities and condo agreements have rules against front-yard farming.
Was she ignorant of the rules?
Even so, jail time is ridiculous.

>> Damned! That woman should have made those things on the backyard. Butt-ugly house to drive by with that on front.
Portland allows front-yard farming and I support that law in the spirit of individual liberty.
But it does make the neighborhood look junky.
#27, 28. Sorry but I’ve seen a better display at a Home Depot garden department.
A $$ fine for ignoring the rules and that rocker/couch eye sore is something Pedro would have next to his full size Virgin Mary statue.
I’ve seen uglier things in front yards that people actually felt proud of.
Even now with the drought and the watering ban, my idiot neighbors obsessively water their lawns and deplete the water table and local lakes.
With the way the economy is going there will be even more people returning to growing their own vegetables. It will become a must for some on a tight budget.
I think this lady should be congratulated for being inventive, plus she is not harming the environment in any way either. Way to go!
