neighbor nut

well, I guess it takes all types....we manicure our garden and the neighbor who only comes to use the house 3 times a week, well, he loves the weed look.

I am constantly picking the tiny weeds seedlings out of our yard w/tweezers before they get huge.

lovely...even the dandelions have mildew on them

and if that is not bad enough, stacks his chairs as high as he can on his side.....so, hoping the plumeria will really fill in this year... :-) roxanne

Egads... Nice neighbor. I know how you feel... I keep my yard and garden well manicured, but my neighbor, not. Thank goodness I have a tall privacy fence in the backyard so I don't have to look at it. However, all the creeping charlie, crabgrass and weed seeds from his yard come creeping under the fence or blowing in on the breezes.

yes, in the breezes...everyone up and down our street has gotten freebies from his weed seeds. BUT, he is famous, so he just does not care....very sad!
