What would you recommend to grow in front yard, so it is edible and
looks good enough not to **** homeowner asscociation?


I suppose that it depends upon how obnoxious your HOA contract
is, and how desperately your neighbours are clutching their
interpersonal dominance-games (and their sphincters.)

Have you reviewed your HOA contract which decrees the acceptable
colour/brand of toilet paper... Uh, wait, I mean... which states
the acceptable street-appearance of "your" front lawn?

Or maybe it is really THEIR lawn, since they control it?

Anyway, I suspect that strawberries, courgettes/zucchinis, and
herbs might be OK.

Personally, I cannot imagine hassling a neighbour for visible
vegetables.

But, in your shoes, I would look carefully at the contract. I
mean, who knows? They might be control-freaks who will fine you
for anything except grass. Which you will keep to a specified
length, etc.

A real risk: Some dork neighbour blows all of their money on a
house they can't afford, plus cigarettes, junk-food, etc. And
then bitterly resents you for showing evidence of a proper diet,
etc. NOT a fun prospect, especially since those types generally
don't have any productive pursuits to distract them from
resenting/bullying you. And maybe being on the HOA board, as a
busy-body who will assert his/her authoriTAH.

A really, really BAD IDEA is to directly tell that person that
you *don't* wanna be their personal fffwwwwwiiiiieeeennnnnddd.
