Many local cities, and even HOA's prohibit any form of vegetable or fruit in the front yard. Many such citations and lawsuits.
As for your back yard. US Regulations can also be weaponized against any citizen, because having a garden and producing your own produce - you are disrupting commerce, by not participating in commerce.. You may also be altering waterways, or hoarding rain-water with catch-barrels. Land of the free! <Insert Drooling+Dented brain picture here>
Assuming property ownership was a reality - I'm glad people can use the land in anyway they see fit. As long as the property owner is able to do this while not directly & adversely affecting neighbors (odors, pests, runoff). If you can afford the water bill, or have your own well - do what ever TF you want. Just the same as you likely see Bitcoin as a valid use of electricity.
HOAs are such an annoying thing. In principle it makes sense that there is a private arrangement about a neighborhood for the sake of property values. But the way HOAs sometimes become overregulating pseudogovernments with huge fines preventing people from actually owning their own property.

You fucking moron! What the hell is wrong with you? Are you seriously complaining about people growing their own food in their own goddamn yards? And now you're talking about some bullshit about regulations and waterways? Get a life, you pathetic loser! If someone wants to grow vegetables or fruits in their front yard, let them! It's none of your goddamn business! And as for the water bill, who gives a flying fuck? If people can afford it, let them use their resources however they please! You're just another ignorant, close-minded prick who thinks he knows everything. Fuck off and leave people alone to live their lives the way they want to!

FFS.. I HAVE green grass, and love it. Read my 2nd sentence: "... I'm glad people can use the land in anyway they see fit."
