Neighbour spraying my weeds

[Clappingforjoy]

Okay so I'm not a gardener and have tried and tried to keep my garden under some kind of control with the weeds but have never had the money to change it in the way of converting it to a concrete jungle to avoid the maintenance.
Upstairs is senior couple who keep theirs neat and unfortunately they look over onto my lovely garden and it's open at the side meaning that I have to go over onto theirs for access to my shed so I get that my garden is thrown in thier face pretty often.
However how would you feel if she came over into your garden spraying your weeds without asking.

Grateful

I wish someone would come and do mine. Must get out there this weekend. It’s just the front and they are poking up between the block paving.

I'd be chuffed.

Both my neighbours both sides of my last houise were lazy man children who made my life a bloody misery with their lack of care, how hard is it to mow the grass right up to the fence to keep the weeds down?
I spent hours and hours on my garden and it was immaculate and beautiful and I had a constant battle to stop their weeds pushing down the fence and bindweed roots destroying all my plants, it used to piss me right off that they could not mow a strip down the side of their fence once a week to make my life easier.
Lazy bastards.
Nobody wanted to buy my house with shit gardens either side either.

Why don't you ask them for advice since they are keen gardeners? They might even offer to help, some people love it. Ps if you're waiting until you've got the money to turn it into a concrete desert, than yabvvvu. Get yourself a strimmer and keep the worst of the weeds down.

I despise gardening and I'm really overweight so its kills me

I'd say thanks (unless I had pets I was worried about coming into contact with the chemicals).

Your not keeping it up and they are helping. Say thank you.

Chuffed, tell them to crack on!

Really happy. I hate weed spraying

I'd feel ashamed I let it get so bad!

I'd be sending them a thank you gift asap

Ecstatic

I’d send them a gift tbh

I'd be pretty miffed if they were spraying weedkiller without asking! That is dangerous if you have pets or kids, or if you decide to eat them (some weeds are edible, not all). Not okay to be doing that.

Damn! Forgot to say that if somebody took it upon themselves to spray my garden, I'd be pretty pissed off, sorry OP, major omission there

I've been out so many times before and had a go but in no time it's back to ruin I despair with it

If they didn’t speak to you first I’d be really cross.
I wouldn’t just go and cut my neighbours grass without having a polite conversation, exchanging pleasantries, and then maybe asking would they like a hand ?
Otherwise it’s just controlling & overstepping boundaries .

A thank you card and chocolates would be my thoughts.

Your weeds are possibly spreading into their area as well, so it's probably in their own interests to step in and get things sorted.

Nobody should be going into your garden and killing your plants without asking you first.

Grateful. I'd send them a note say thank you so much. Tell them you're overwhelmed. If you're lucky they'll do more for you.
Actually I'd probably normally be a bit miffed at the invasion of space. But my husband has moved out and the garden is just flumoxing me. I don't know where to start and the weeds seem to be taking over. My neighbours are wonderful but I'd swop them for yours right now!

I’d be a bit embarrassed but mostly grateful. Would prefer that they had offered first though, particularly if you have pets/children.

I'd ask them if they'd like to take over looking after it for me on an ongoing basis.

Tricky - I’d personally be very upset as I have a dog, but perhaps they thought they were doing you favour.
