Is your garden work restricted by local laws?

yup we cant water on Sundays

I think the only restriction is if the noise is within nusance laws volume & time frames. Otherwise it's just common courtesy to keep the noise down. I would love to see things closed on Sundays like it used to be before I was born. But most everything is open on Sundays except banks and a few small businesses. The only time where the majority close is when it's a big holiday... like Christmas.

Yep, sure is. In my town there is a little-known bylaw about not mowing on Sundays, as well (I live in Quebec, Canada). There was one summer in recent memory where the police started enforcing it and issuing tickets for noise :( There was SUCH an uproar because, with people working during the week, they tend to need to do yardwork on the weekends - and I don't know anyone that ever objected to it unless someone fired up their mower at like 5AM or something LOL I hear people mowing on Sundays all the time now but apparently you will only get ticketed if someone registers a complaint. So, you have to be sure to be on good terms with your neighbors LOL We have watering restrictions - and they are always in effect so no one has to question that. Watering days coincide with your street address. So, if your civic number is 123, you can water your lawn and garden on odd dates. Your neighbor at #122 would water on even dates. Lawns can be watered only between 9PM and midnight, so I have a timer for my hose. This restriction also applies to other uses for water, like washing cars, so people are expected to use a bucket, not constantly run a hose. It sounds harsh but, since this has been in effect, we've never had any problems with water or rationing even during the hottest, driest periods of the year. We also can't use pesticides. Local stores, though, are cognizant of the bylaws so, if you can buy a product in the store, it's ok to use it. We had an infestation of white grubs in the past few years (fortunately, my lawn was spared!) but it was very hard for people to treat it because there were very few products available for that. Each year, a different area of town was hit and many people completely lost their lawns, since grubs eat the roots. But fortunately, if nothing else, it does work itself out.

Where I live it's fine to mow the lawn when ever you like -but with respect to the people around you it's a "unspoken rule" not to do it to early in the morning/to late at night. I know that in some areas in Sweden it's restricted to a couple of times a week when they are allowed to mow the lawn - but what if you're working tohse hours - I bet it's not okay not to mow it either....

where i am we dont have any restrictions we can do gardening when ever we want which is really good because if we where not aloud we would always be getting into trouble because my husband does the grass on sundays.

That is scary. Here in Canada there is no restriction like that. You must feel like in Jail under those circumstances. I hope that they don't make you pay a find if you make noise on those days? That is a bit much. God grant you wisdom.
