Description
Owner of 118 Freedom Way, Quincy, MA is growing food on city owned grass. City street-city curb- city grass - the grass is where the owner of the hoise dug up and decided to plant there own garden. Is this something we as homeowners are allowed to do? I don't see anyone else in the neighborhood doing it. Why do people feel like they can do anything they want. I am including a picture of the woman tending to her garden on city property.

@WatchDog Can you come to my house too and make a salad with the weeds and grass that are growing out front?
@ The person who posted this.. would you prefer the homeowner not take care of that curb/grass area and let it get overgrown?

Completely ruined the neighborhood. Property value is going to dip.
Time to consider selling the house since the market value in Quincy is skyrocket.

Look at the open red bucket in front of the house.
Vegetable garden + Open bucket = Mosquitoes

This is the problem with many American towns: people don't even talk to their neighbors, and in many cases, don't even know their neighbors' names, but have no problem anonymously reporting them to the city for GROWING FOOD. (would you report them for planting begonias? I think not - ask yourself why).

Well, I have a flower garden in half of a street side patch, the other half my husband put in cobble stones. The city has never done anything with curbside property. I have a large vegetable/flower garden in my front yard and back yard. I also have 3 cats, two of which are mousers (they bring carcasses to me as gifts). May I suggest that if you are concerned about any rats that might invade that garden, adopt a female cat. However, it is more likely that squirrels will be gnawing at the veggies than rats. Given the current unrest in America, reaching out to your neighbor is a very good idea.
By the way, does anyone have any good tricks for squirrels attacking my tomatoes?

Thank you!
I don't see any issue with this.
Very well maintained house and surrounding property. Neighbor always out sweeping and keeping it clean.... Very friendly neighbors...

I would be extremely saddened if someone lost a productive, attractive garden because one person is being a little aggressive about it.

I don't see anything wrong with growing vegetable if they maintained the property and keeping it clean. My earlier post was too aggressive- Sorry all !!!
Let's all have a beer and a good salad at their vegetable garden...
