so. . . I need someone with some horticultural credentials to certify
that in their opinion, the following list of plants are NOT weeds. As
previously noted. . . OKC
code enforcement is once again attacking the abundance of my yard. See
the pictures at http://www.bobwaldrop.net/?p=1803.
I have been cited for tall grass and weeds. One of my defenses is that
none of my plants are weeds. To show that this is more than my personal
opinion, I am looking for people with any kind of horticultural
credentials (degrees, jobs, etc) who would sign a statement along the
lines of --
These plants are not weeds. They are plants that are ornamental,
useful, edible, or provide important ecosystem services for bees and
butterflies. Growing these plants in an urban area is an important
public service.
Or words to that effect anyway. My hearing is June 2nd. I would like to
collect as many letters as possible on this, doesn't matter if
people are from Oklahoma City or not.
