The Bass family of Oak Park, Michigan decided to plant vegetables in their front yard after a sewer line was replaced. Since the grass was torn up, and the yard trashed, they determined to do something useful and put in beautiful raised beds of vegetables.
City planner Kevin Rulkowski has deemed this unsuitable use of private property, and has proffered a new definition of that word, to justify prosecution of one Julie Bass, for the offense of planting vegetables in her own front yard.
Ms. Bass has demanded a jury trial and may face up to 93 days in jail if convicted of illicit vegetable planting.
