I can’t speak to HOA bullshit, but a lot of Americans do have gardens. In the summer I grow tomatoes, corn, peppers, squash, zucchini, apples, green beans, raspberries, black berries, strawberries, and catnip for the kitty (and the bees love catnip). Next year I’ll try growing marijuana in the garden too as it was recently legalized here.
But there is truth in this meme. Many home owners are quite obsessed with the golf course / country estate style perfect lawn.
In Poland not having a backyard garden is a clear sign of being a well earning city slicker. Because if someone’s a proper prole living in the city, it’s good chances they have a miniature balcony garden. If you’re a prole out in the villages, you have a garden guaranteed.
Kind of an interesting culture we have here, but it’s unfortunately dying out…
I’ve only seen a golf course yard once, and it was in one of them slick new American style suburb homes. They’ve looked off-putting, uninviting and fake to me.
