Yeah. My ground is all rocky clay once you get a couple inches down so I've got a lot of work to do. Check this out though:

    The exterior property should be free from weeds, grasses, annual plants, and vegetation in excess of 12 inches.

The thing is, this seems to mean that bushes and whatnot are also code violations but everyone has those. I think this is one of those rules that they can just selectively enforce when they want to mess with someone. But it's making me rethink growing corn. My main problem is that I"m on a corner lot (about .23 acres) and my yard is visible from almost every angle; hiding stuff is pretty tough.

    But it's making me rethink growing corn.

Get twine and tie it to the top of the corn stalks as they sprout. Tie the other ends of the string to a wooden dowel, set 12" off of the ground on one end of the garden. Everyday, turn the dowel a little bit. -Horizontal corn. :)
