Woman Sues City of Tulsa For Cutting Down Her Edible Garden

Apologies, I see that the gardening ping has been passed on to you. I think those on the ping list would find this of interest.

[mnehring]

The street view date on this is 2008 so I don’t know if this is how she normally kept it.

[Altariel]

I’ve never grown mint, so that is good to know. Thank you!

Did you read the story? The city cut everything down, even some trees. This looks like an after-action photo.

A lawn of pure mint might be very enticing. And the neighbors would hate your guts.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

A nice, well-kept yard, but not up to Agenda 21 code, so out it goes.

Every state needs to follow Alabama's lead.

Even if a “pig sty,” unless there’s some ordinance banning what’s in the pig sty, the government should leave it alone.

And it has to be an indestructible pot too.

Not only should she be awarded $20 million or more, but the thugs who ordered the cutting should do jail time. No mercy for Nazi thugs.

It’d be an olfactory pleasure to mow on a warm, summer day. But in winter, all there’d be is mud, as it’s herbaceous and retreats underground for the cold months.

[Carriage Hill]

I’ve seen mint’s roots crack terracotta pots, quite easily. It’s also as aggressive as bamboo, and comes-up in macadam and concrete cracks. It’s a nightmare when it gets loose. Whooooo-weeee! I’ve used 100% Paraquat on it, and it came back!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Agenda 21 looks to be about “soft law” (tax incentive and the like) support for global warmism adaptations. Not about unkempt or only slightly kempt gardens.

[Altariel]

Because you are a serf and are not afforded the privileges of your betters!

(Do I really need a sarc tag?)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Agenda 21 is about zoning private property out of existence and herding all the peasants into high-rise containment facilities where they can be inventoried and tracked more easily until the time for the Final Solution arrives.

[loboinok]

Clever!

I don’t remember who sang that... Don Williams?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Any justification of this from the source? (Even wishing global warmism on the world is odious enough, but there’s no sense dancing around with tinfoil beanies.)

[loboinok]

I smell a lawsuit. That's what I thought when I read the headline.

[djf]

I have a weed in my front yard I'd love to get rid of - trouble is, it's almost unkillable!

Second trouble is it's actually edible and highly, highly nutritious - loaded with Vit C:

Poor lady, she was living on Tulsa thyme.

Win. LOL
