Plant a vegetable garden, go to jail?

A woman in Michigan faces 93 days of jail time for replanting her front yard with vegetable planting beds after it was torn up for a sewer replacement project. She is standing up for her property rights, demanding a jury trial, and the city of Oak Park is throwing the book at her.

I used to watch the show Victory Garden on PBS on weekend morning. The traditional Victory Garden was planted in WWI or WWII in back and front yards as a way to ease pressure on the food supply and to help the war effort. Is it me or is the boot of government falling too heavily on our necks nowadays.
One commenter recommended that she should plant bamboo if forced to replant her yard. That'll teach those complaining neighbors!
Another thing. With all the blight in Detroit nowadays, the city spends their time harassing THIS WOMAN?

Container vegetable gardening in Southern California

It is time to refresh the garden with summer favorites. The winter garden turned out well. We had red lettuce, Romaine lettuce, Italian parsley and strawberries. The parsley made way for cucumber seedlings:


I replaced the lettuce with a cherry tomato plant. Can you see the little tomato near the bottom of the plant? We already have fruit!


The strawberries are still going strong and got a reprieve:


Also, the Romaine lettuce, as my 11-year-old son's favorite, got transplanted into a flower pot. Hopefully we can get a few more bowls of salad out of them before they bolt into flower.


Is there a way to grow corn in containers? I have the worst luck with corn!
