Vegetable gardening in the front yard is typically a no-no, unless you really live out in the sticks. Most subdivisions have bylaws that require homeowners maintain their grounds, and that means maintain their lawns, shrubs, trees and flower gardens.
If a backyard is fully enclosed by a privacy fence, maybe one could build a small raised bed and plant some tomatoes or such. Nobody's really going to stick their neck over a privacy fence to inspect someone else's backyard.

北海白塔 is truly one of the famous landmarks of Beijing.
BTW, I remember the top of the monument was partially damaged due to the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake - people were saying a chunk of material fell off. I would think the repair was a lot easier than repairing the Washington Monument due to it being a solid structure.

::北海公园 白塔概况::
白塔位于琼岛之巅,它始建于1651年,后因地震破坏而重建。塔高35.9米,下承折角式须弥座,座上为覆钵式塔身,正面有壶门式眼光门,门内刻藏文咒语。塔顶置双层铜制伞盖,其边缘悬14只铜钟,最上为鎏金火焰宝珠塔刹。整个永安寺从山门至白塔,层层递高,上下串连,构成琼岛景区的中轴线,给人以层出不穷,壮丽宏阔之感。
清顺治八年(1651年)清世祖福临应西藏喇嘛(后赐号恼木汗)之请,在元代广寒殿的旧址上修建。因属于永安寺范围,故亦称永安寺白塔。此塔居于全园之制高点,且形制特殊,不仅是北海公园的标志性景观,且长期被作为北京的象征图景,名著中外。这组建筑占地面积1650平方米,建筑面积587.07平方米。白塔下有两层平台,下层平台有四个上下口,正南面往下有七十二级砖砌台阶与普安殿相通,北面为条石垂带踏跺(台阶)与揽翠轩相对,东西两面为青山石台阶与两侧山道相通。
::北海公园 白塔故事::
白塔-藏传喇嘛塔位于北京北海公园琼华岛上建于清初顺治八年(1651),是一座藏式喇嘛塔。据建塔石碑记载,当时“有西域喇嘛者,欲以佛教阴赞皇猷,请立塔寺,寿国佑民”,得到皇帝的恩准,于是修建了永安寺和白塔。塔高35.9米,上圆下方,富有变化,为须弥山座式,塔顶设有宝盖、宝顶,并装饰有日、月及火焰花纹,以表示“佛法”象日、月那样光芒四射,永照大地。
塔身正面有一盾形小龛,内塑红底黄字的藏文图案,含“吉祥如意”之意。
此龛俗称“眼光门”,又叫“时轮金刚门”。1679年该塔被地震所毁,次年重建。1976年唐山地震波及北京,塔顶被损。在修复时,发现塔内主心木中藏有一个二寸见方的金漆盒子,盒盖绘有太极图,盒内藏有两“舍利”,证明此塔是一座舍利塔。该塔矗立于琼岛顶峰,绿荫拥簇,巍峨壮美,引人瞩目。这种象征神权的建筑物--白塔和永安寺,设置于琼岛的重要位置上,具有主宰全园的气势,以体现"君权神授"的封建思想,此是帝王宫苑的一大特色。

... This is the same anesthetic that killed Michael Jackson.
When I had my dental implant, this was the drug my oral surgeon used to sedate me. I was very reluctant to be put under, and wanted to stay awake and just be given Novacain. But the doctor convinced me that I would only be half asleep. Throughout the surgical procedure, I also had an oxygen mask on at full blast. The drug worked instantaneously; I felt a cold tingle course through my vein, and I was out.
My knowledge in medicine is limited, but I do know that anesthesia is not a joking matter.
This was around the 2006, 2007 timeframe, way before Michael Jackson's death. Now we learn that Propofol was also involved in Joan Rivers' death. What a shame.

... At this point, the doc was reassured that you could not have" the episodic memory".
http://www.rxlist.com/diprivan-drug/warnings-precautions.htm
The average dose to induce anesthesia in patients up to 54 years of age was 1.99 mg/kg and in patients above 54 it was 1.66 mg/kg. Subsequent clinical studies have demonstrated lower dosing requirements for subjects greater than 60 years of age.
A lower induction dose and a slower maintenance rate of administration of DIPRIVAN Injectable Emulsion should be used in elderly patients. In this group of patients, rapid (single or repeated) bolus administration should not be used in order to minimize undesirable cardiorespiratory depression including hypotension, apnea, airway obstruction, and/or oxygen desaturation.
