Hi Roger, There was this case in Oak Park, Michigan, where the city eventually relented after a national outcry: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/07/08/michigan-resident-faces-3-days-in-jail-for-vegetable-garden/
I am not a lawyer, but it depends on how the law is written- the Oak Park code only states "suitable, live plant material", which is vague. I wonder what the local law in Florida says.
