The much simpler approach would have been to talk to the owner and say I will quit making bylaw complaints against you for a derelict lot if you let me plant potatoes there and I will clean up my potato garden when you want to develop.
It would be win win for everyone. Instead it sounds like she has been very adversarial with the lot owner and didnt work with them.
Instead of tires and paint she could have at least rented a rototiller and brought in some top soil and made the whole lot into a nice garden instead of a tire pile.
