Each house or development or area in the county may have deed
restrictions preventing this, but I couldn't imagine if you did
a nice, tidy garden people would most likely not complain. I
have great neighbors that way. They not only tolerate me, they
never complained once when my front garden went to pot when I
couldn't garden for a few years.

lucky! my neighbors, when i lived in Manchester NH, called the
police on me *all the time* about my gardens... well, the first time
it was about my dogs because i took them out during a hurricane.
sorry lady, but the dogs needed to go & they don't go in the house (i
had a Borzoi & a Shepherd/Lab at the time. not rug rats). i was out
with them. but she called & filed an animal cruelty complaint...
then she complained i had rats in my compost pile. i had a *possum*
living under my shed. she hated my combination vegetable/cottage
garden in the front yard.
the police finally got so tired of her complaints over nothing they
told her if she called about me one more time, they'd arrest *her*
for wasting their time.
i can't say i miss her now that i've moved away
