I was wondering (after reading that article) if there was any legal
restrictions to growing fruits, veggies, & other crops in one's front
yard in Sacramento County? What about eliminating a lawn in favor of
such ideas?


Can I plant a vegetable garden in my front yard?

You may wish to research further... but that is the website. I
appears there are no garden restrictions.


So what have you grown in favor of a green lawn?


Not leaving there, but in Atlanta, most people here grow a variety of
plants, like Japanese Grass, Dandelion and Poke Salad,purslane,
hawkweed, and try to keep it mowed to about 2 inches. Not sure what real
grass is supposed to look like. Never liked lawns myself, and don't have
one.

I believe there are a number of readers in this group from your rough
area who can advise.
