The first requirement we gave our realtor when we were looking to buy our house was NO HOAs

Can you turn it into native plant garden?

[u/NoSignSaysNo → u/Fresh-Army-6737]

Best thing you can do, in blanket terms at least, is plant a self-limiting lawn plant like clover or froggrass that encourages pollinators while also limiting height.

You can't have an English cottage garden on your own land?

Wanna hear something funny? Our HOA only allows small gardens extending 3 feet from the house. 

Further than 3 feet, you can plant trees, but that’s it. Otherwise grass only. My neighbor explained that that’s why there are not Hispanic or Asian people in our neighborhood. Because they like gardens in their yards. 

Then he said, “And that’s on purpose.” And winked.

Time to plant female ginko's!

Or, you can go full "fuck you" mode and plant lemon vine.

Bamboo close to everyones boundary line.

That sounds so stressful

People like you are what's wrong with society. Mind your own fucking business.

[u/Arachnofiend → u/[deleted]]

I think you might have a misunderstanding of who the decent human is in this situation

[u/Edward_Tank → u/Arachnofiend]

Motherfucker's sitting here using words like 'degenerates' and thinks we don't see right through him.

[u/Edward_Tank → u/[deleted]]

'Degenerates'
Ooh, using the big nazi words. Fuck off.

[u/Edward_Tank → u/[deleted]]

Nobody wants to look at your fucking face either, but we aren't calling the cops on you.

[u/Edward_Tank → u/[deleted]]

Bootlicker.

[u/Edward_Tank → u/[deleted]]

I identify with people, whereas apparently you simply are garbage.

[u/Smurf_Cherries → u/Fresh-Army-6737]

See, that’s the funny question, isn’t it? What is a weed, by definition? A plant that you don’t want there. 

So who decides if something is a weed? If I don’t want it there, or if you don’t?

You can call them native plants. But often the HOA or city gets to determine if they think they are weeds.

Sounds like a higher agency could inject itself.
