Are you really free when the state can tell you what you may or may not plant in your own yard? Our founding father's would be disgusted at the State's blatant disregard for private property rights in this day and age.
My Poppop recently cut down all the trees in his front yard because he was tired of raking leaves. It doesn't look very nice, but it's a heck of a lot easier for him. Should the government be able to come in and force him to plant trees in his front yard?
It's not like this woman put up a huge statue of a monkey skeet, skeeting on a naked woman's face. No, she decided to grow her own vegetables on her own private property! She planted something more useful than grass. Oh the horror! Seriously folks, we are talking about nothing more onerous than a woman planting a damn vegetable garden, and the State is coming after her for it. Hell, if "suitable" = "common" then a huge statue of a dick in her front yard would be suitable, since half the population has one.
"Code enforcement gave her a warning, then a ticket and now she's been charged with a misdemeanor."
Make no mistake. Interaction with government is inherently hostile, and they will always, without fail, use the coercive power of the state against individuals. They expect you to back down and cowtow, and when you don't they retaliate. That's the nature of the overbearing, petty tyrants we have in government today.
Kudos to Mrs. Bass for not backing down, saying,
"I could sell out and save my own self and just not have them bother me anymore, but then there's no telling what they're going to harass the next person about."
Most people fold. When someone doesn't the government tries to railroad them as they are this lady. Can't have free individuals getting all uppity, thinking they have rights, right?

I'm not really sure which version of Websters this guy has but mine doesn't say common is the definition of suitable. All she really has to do is get a few of her neighbors to do the same thing by his definition it will then be common. The whole thing is silly. I can't believe the amount petty dictators want to infringe on your rights these days.
