I was a fruit and vegetable farmer for 20 years and decided to partner up with a friend of mine and start a construction company.

Unless there is a specific ordinance against it, a tree is vegetative matter so I'm not so sure it's a code violation.

@Matt Stricklen - funny you mention vegetable gardening during COVID.

Underground wells and aquifers don’t have state boundaries, so these deep water wells stand to harm communities in neighboring states, along with Mexico, and all so that you can get the same fruits and vegetables year-round in the grocery store.

The property was overgrown vegetation and dilapidated buildings that required bulldozing, working with count to establish an address, gain road access, etc.

Vegetables are to be eaten with every meal and eaten first. 

If you are a US citizen you have to file taxes for any of your foreign holdings and finding good affordable advisors is hard .i have so many expat friends who have advisors and still had to restate US tax returns multiple times.having said all that, complexity can create opportunity as can economic distress.one thing I'm curious about is the opportunity to get cheap land in Europe near cities that are doing ok and have someone grow vegetables intensively for sale into that city.

Then, one day she decided to go to one of my apartment building and she fell in love with the plants and she started fairly large vegetable gardens at 3 buildings.

Hate to tell you this but back in Aussie a Swede is a root vegetable we put in stews.

We assumed it was now vacant due to the vegetation, but on trash day trash was put out and someone is living there!
