    Yeah that’s true. There are a ton of arbitrary defined and applied lawn laws in the states. The “no weeds” ones are always funny too, bc more often then not the grass you imported from Asia is more a weed than the native flowers

      Where i grew up you could have an edible native plant that mosquitoes hate, fixing nitrogen as your ground cover, but no the hoa says grass not mint. I wanted to do guerrilla gardening with wild strawberries there too, but never got around to it.

      That said, one non native plant belonged there, the earth made the dandelion one of her greatest and most beloved children, and who am I to disagree.

      plus the soil can carry invasive weeds, and diseases, or pests too. and ornamental plants often come from places like asia,etc. people are still growing latana camara in some places.
