I supply a homemade concoction to spray there--a gallon of cider vinegar, a cup of table salt, and a few drops of Dawn liquid--works better than commercial sprays.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-44950556337645028872013-02-27T09:20:08.533-05:002013-02-27T09:20:08.533-05:00I hope to be so spry!

However, it is an older population in the park. Usually if someone is seeming neglectful, it is because they are no longer able to take care and there are procedures in place to contact families and even volunteers who will do the weeding. The person who took the pictures is plain mean spirited.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-37523763572477135762013-02-27T09:10:07.329-05:002013-02-27T09:10:07.329-05:00I know!I know!Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-48079380005565560302013-02-27T09:04:03.303-05:002013-02-27T09:04:03.303-05:00I am always in jaw-dropping awe of the Reeder gard...I am always in jaw-dropping awe of the Reeder garden.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-51229118390478478882013-02-26T21:56:53.469-05:002013-02-26T21:56:53.469-05:00Sometimes I just have to chuckle as to what gets p...Sometimes I just have to chuckle as to what gets peoples shorts in a knot.

I would not want to live near or next to a house that was unmowed or overgrown with weeds. <br />Oh yeah, I did!! <br />We have an absent neighbor who began renovating his house, then quit. What a mess. The town sued, imposed penalties, and tried to take over the property, but we were still living there whileMuffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542678482763101104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-532806837312011432013-02-26T14:12:22.630-05:002013-02-26T14:12:22.630-05:00Ahh the neighborhood snoops.

We had a neighborhood association suing a couple because ....gasp! they had colored Christmas lights up. <br /><br />When the day comes that I don't have anything better to do that go around and photograph people's weeds, that is the day I hope God strikes me dead. Although I have to agree tacky lawn ornaments are worthy of derision.

You might find a beautiful garden upon your return. I'm not that into gardening. Perhaps if I'd ever gardened where it wasn't hotter than hades (Texas) I might enjoy it. In Oregon I have no space for gardening, only a few container plants.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.com
