There is only one thing to do: SELL the place, and go find land where there are NO "municipal ordinances", NO CCRs, and NO HOA!
Yes, such a place is difficult to find. But, there are some left. Search for them.

Wow. That sucks! Though I do have to say, in that picture, that looks awfully mountainous in the background to be Florida. I realize that there is a portion of the state that is a bit hilly, but that looks more like the Appalachian foothills that we see here in southeast Ohio to a degree, and even more so in PA.

Yeah! Try reading the link to the original source instead of your bigoted commenting!

I didn't know cottonwood trees grew in Florida, either.

So? Neigborhoods have been exerting control on what people do in their front yards literally from the day the Pilgrims stepped off the boat.

The image isn't the garden. If you look at the article it shows the image comes from the organic garden page on wikipedia, so its not the garden of the Florida couple.

I agree with you -- I was born and raised in FL, and am back there 4 times a year. This doesn't look like ANY part of FL I have ever been in, even in the Panhandle.
