     In today's New York Times a Homeowner Association tried to force a Maryland couple with a native garden to change to a tidy lawn. The complaint was that their garden was "attracting rodents, deer, snakes and bats, and that they were planting shrubs and bushes in no particular order." Yes, in no particular order!

     Legal proceedings ensued and there's now a state law forbidding homeowner associations from banning eco-friendly gardens.
