so I moved into the house about a year ago and I always thought that when you live in a housing assocation property you had to keep the garden up together. Obviously not in this case the weeds are awful and make the frt of the houses where we live look awful. Im talking dock leaves that have been growing for a few years and are huge . The garden at the back of house is also awful as well. Would you say something or just try and ignore?? Am I just being a bit precious ??

dandelion?

Yes. But when do they change from yellow to white? I see them yellow or I see them white, never in between. Blush

I read this as grow weed in her garden - oo-er!! I imagine there is probably a clause in her tenancy agreement about keeping the garden tidy. Your best grounds for saying anything to her would be to say that the seeds from the buggers are spreading to your property.

Live and let live.

Oh, that's so cool, PelvicFloor. How do they do that though? What happens? We call the white ones fairies Grin You have to blow the seeds off in one go and make a wish. If you find one floating in the breeze and catch it then you can make another one. If you can't catch it then it means that wish belongs to someone else.

It's some kind of botanical shenanigans

squirt weedkiller on them you don't think they are watching. Thats what my neighbour does to me... think he got into the habit of doing it when the house was empty before we bought it. Fine by me, saves me a job!

She could be growing them for a reason. Does she have nettles on the back?

Just watch out for any cakes.

Hello, I di wonder what my neighbour looked like. Couldn't see you for the shoulder high weeds!

RedToothBrush · 07/06/2013 20:14

Buy her astroturf or put up with it.
