Oh, so a city dweller with a "Victory Garden" would not be qualified to offer input?

I have urban friends and relatives with amazing gardens and fruit trees.


I apologize...I did not mean to stereotype. This was wrong of me. I have the upmost respect for City Dwellers who buck the ideals Society tries to enforce on them! As you know though Urban Food Gardens are becoming rare and many Municipalities are even trending towards outlawing these.

In many Cities now it is OK to grow "ornamentals" but illegal to grow "Food Crops". This is because of the ignorant neighbor next door looking over your fence who thinks they are ugly to look at and reduce the value of their property. In fact I try to promote Backyard Chicken Farming in the City just for these type of neighbors. smile

These are the type of people I was referring to in my statement, not the Gardeners smile


I'm in.

BTW, You have just spoken about my city of residence. Who the hell do they think they are to tell me I can't raise vegetables on my property! They can pound sand. We finally got a commissioner who gets it and everybody and their brother are wanting me to vote against him this time. phugg them.


Just the oposite here....Lewiston just passed an ordinance allowing a certain number of Chickens.....not sure of the details since I live about 25mi out of town but I was glad to hear about it.....

I just put in a small garden that doesn't amount to much but I'm always looking for advice.....let er rip......
