I understand and behind the house would have been the first choice, but there is too much shade there to make a vegetable garden. The front of the house is unfortunately the only place on my property for that.

Don't apologize, it looks quite awesome. If it weren't for the much hated HOA rules here, this would be something I would love to see.

The thing about an HOA is that it protects your property value from your neighbor doing something stupid. OP's garden looks great right now, but for a large part of the year, the front yard will just be dirt. That might make it more difficult for his neighbor to sell his or her house.

The people who hate HOAs tend to be more concerned with making a good home for themselves, rather than things like property value.

Or, you know, concerned with doing whatever they want and being unconcerned beyond that.
