You and the neighbors are more than welcome to take care of the problem.

I have never seen my neighbors pull weeds….but my yard is the only one with weeds….out of control. I don’t get it. ☹️☹️

There’s one plant not considered a weed, but perhaps it should be. The Buddleia is actually a nice plant and the butterflies love it. However, the seeds can get into all sorts of cracks in buildings and they pretty much grown anywhere. Before you know it, you have a big bush growing out of your walls, roofs or chimneys. They do a lot of damage. You see them often in London growing out of walls and building and damaging the brick work.

The ivy growing up the back wall of my house puts that to shame.

It’s the latest thing, I’m helping the environment!!! Haven’t you heard of a Green House?!?? Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here all week.

The Virginia Creeper in our yard found its way up under our siding and through the window frame last week. Needless to say, it is being removed from that location.

Well as the old saying goes “People who live in grass houses should not mow lawns.”

That is how it goes, right?

Easy to solve: Just smoke the weeds, and/or bring in Cheech and Chong.

When my neighbors complained, I told them it looked fine from my perspective. One actually came over and “trimmed” the 10’ privet hedge down to 4’ while I was at work. It took him 9 hours.

He’s just providing you and the neighbors something to talk about

It you describe your house as an “Earth Ship”, and it isn’t specifically forbidden by an HOA, you should be good.

Dang, they found my house!

Do they want to green the planet or not???
