A couple who have lived in Miami Shores for over 17 years is suing the city after being threatened with steep fines for the way they keep their front yard. The trouble came after Miami Shores changed its zoning laws two years ago and insisted Hermine Ricketts and her husband Tom Carroll remove their vegetable garden. The city was serious, threatening a $50 per day fine.
That’s what forced the couple to file suit. Watch the video, learn how much they are suing forĀ and see the vegetable garden the city insisted they rip up on the NEXT PAGE:

NO THEY SHOULD NOT. LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE.
You need to leave these people alone. I guess if they had a bunch of gaudy pink flamingos in the yard it would be ok
They let all the scum come into Florida and they are worried about someone’s garden.HOW PATHETIC IS THAT.
A garden looks better and is more useful then rocks being colored green. It is pathetic when people who try to take care of themselves and also try to save a little money are bullied by those who go more for looks then common sense. I stand behind the couple.
Leave them alone
Vote for Communists you get Communism
This is so wrong!! They want to have a garden on their land it’s their right!!
There is likely more to this than what is being posted. That picture looks like something far more than a simple garden. The City could have other concerns such as the type of plants they have could be threatening or the insects that are being attracted. Bottom line though is regardless of the reason the City has a law on the books and court is the proper place to address it. Can’t believe everything you read online
They need to go after the people cooking meth in their kitchens and leave decent law abiding people alone. Is this really still America when you have to sue for the right to grow vegetables on your own property ????
