So Old I'm Losing Radiation Signs
If the Google does not cheat me, there is not any backyard at 15111 Oak Park boulevard, Michigan.

@Walpknut, I don't want to rant about 'organic' food, but the main thing that irritates me is that it implies other food is inorganic. Two, it's more expensive because it's less effeciently grown, because as far as America is concerned, being grown organically means it's only grown with certain 'approved' things, like they can only use manure as fertilizer and only certain kinds of pesticides, which are generally inferior and pesticides are generally only intended to kill, well, pests. It typically takes more land to grow less food than 'inorganic' food. And that's just dumb.

always looking for water.
I'd like to point out that my house has no front yard at all, but a huge backyard. It appears this woman has the opposite so she had to make it in front.

My front is extremely small but I still fit a few plants in for farm, and the back has a patio and the rest of it is farm.
But back to the point, I feel sorry for the persecuted, as she is just trying to save a few dollars on her food, yet her neighbours and not allowing it, we've never had any complaints, few of our neighbours occasionally ask for my produce as well so complaints would be loosely based in my neighbourhood, I suspect the reason her neighbours complained to the police was because either she was jealous of her plot, or it was due to a previous neighbourly dispute which the neighbour took to harshly. Either way it isn't right.

Maybe her neighbour asked her for pot and she refused to share. I can see such a case leading to a situation that ends in front of the police office/court.

If she's growing her weed in the front yard, she deserves to get caught, prosecuted, and etc.
Or maybe the neighbor doesn't like how it might affect their property values or the smell of manure and fertilizer and all that shit. But like I said, I hate her solely because she wants 'organic' food.
So fuck her.

Now only a roof garden is an option for poor lady.
Weird law, weird country, weird BN. (In the Netherlands, seriously?).
I can understand the law, though nothing like it exists (well it's possible that it does, but NO one heeds it) here, but vegetables?! Here it's a *really* common thing to grow vegetables in one's garden, regardless of the area and environment one lives in and regardless of wealth and plot size. This has been the case since WW2, and vegetable growing is actively encouraged. There are also lots of allotments; council owned land that you can lease a plot of (really cheap, but incredibly popular - in London the average waiting time is 30 years) to grow your daily bizzle on. Many people keep chickens on them to, though this is technically a no-no in most places.
It's such a popular, practical and encouraged thing in the UK. I doubt many people would regard it as aesthetically problematic either, the opposite in fact.
For example, in my family homes garden we grow all the basic herbs
we need, apples, pears, plums, tomatoes, strawberrys, black + red currants, plus a greenhouse which has more tomatoes, peppers, chillis, aubergines and sometimes cucumbers in (tomatoes and cucumbers don't grow well together for some reason). We also have three grape vines and a peach tree, though the climate is a bit shit for these.
Then, behind the garden we have an allotment. Potatoes, leeks, onions, runner + broad + green beans, peas, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, sprouts, brocalli (some years), beetroot, radishes, globe artichokes, asparagus, rhubarb, marrows/courgettes, pumpkins (some years), sweet cprn (some years), more herbs, lots more strawberys, currants, gooseberrys, apples, pears and a HUGE raspberry patch (which means we eat raspberrys almost everyday between May and October). Oh and loganberrys too. What we don't grow ourselves, we barter off of other allotment holders. Then below the allotments there are a ton of blackberry brambles and wild fruit trees. To top it all of there are numerous pheasants, rabbits and pigeons, hated by all growers and thus fair game for the table.
We don't really care about 'organic' food (I hate the expression as well), and indeed some of our crops aren't entirely organic (GM experiments baby!), it saves a *lot* of money though over the course of the year. Plus I personally enjoy gardening, so it's eaze.
I'm really surprised at your post BN, would have thought the Netherlands being the densely populated, sensible country that it is would share our roughly nationwide love of vegetable growth.
My family is a bit beyond typical in what we grow (Lincolnshire only really has two industries - farming and tourism), but the country is full of allotment holders from all walks of life who grow as much or more and it's extremely common for people who don't have one to grow vegetables in their back garden (even if that's no more than a balcony!).
Hope this helps.
