Just astounding. You object to someone growing lettuce? what the hey?!

Can't even begin to understand the logic behind it. Well, there isn't any, so there you go.

to the naysayers.

Politicians at any level want to look like they are 'green' and support the citizens, but in the end they're self-serving jerks.
At least in the Dallas case it was before they built that they found out.

Why don't these people go complain about and crack down on the candy industry or the fast food industry and leave small time farmers alone? Give me a break! What are they afraid of? People getting HEALTHY!?! God forbid.

I'm afraid that people have it in their heads, that farms/ers equal dirty.
What do you expect with the way we harvest commercially nowadays?

Honestly if it's private property can't the owner plant a garden if they want?

And couldn't they ask friends, family, neighbors to help?

I'd be calling and reporting that woman every time she planted so much as a daisy... goose gander... if I can't garden on my own property then you can't either. Really, I heard a rumor that you have that 'gotta go' problem so how do I know you aren't tinkling on your tulips? And that fertilizer you're using... well it smells... I bet that isn't cool. And deer just love your type of hedges... and Bambi is a scary fella.

Some people have NO class at all.
