what unwanted things regularly get into your garden?

[DaringAquaViewer]

can be anything from cats to litter

for me cats an petals from the house at the bac tree

Every year the magpies, crows and jackdaws break my heart by raiding the nests of the little birds who work so hard to raise their young.

I am sure farmers used to control these birds and that they no longer do must surely have some impact on the little birds that are struggling so much. Apparently the RSPB won't say this for fear of putting off magpie/crow fans.

Moss, cats (don't mind the cats, hate their poo), mind-your-own-business (pretty but takes over everything).

Lesser celandine. I like a bit. But that is not how this plant works. It is a monster

Balls from the village hall next door.
Ducks, rats, pigeons, slugs and snails.

Creatures that my cat brings home and releases in the garden, then doesn't do anything useful with them as she gets bored. The list of live creatures I often have to return to the river includes (but is by no means limited to):

Snakes
Moles
Voles
Shrews
Mice
Bats
Baby bunnies
Birds

Never a dull moment!

Cats and squirrels, squirrels are the worst, they come over each morning across the road and along the fence and dig in the pots, in the summer they break the sunflowers and drag them around to get the seeds

That image has made my day . Thank you 😀

I love herbs and gardening in general so I feel your pain but what a beauty! Brilliantly captured.

Shit. Don’t know what the culprit is yet. I have my shotgun cocked.

We watched griffon vultures from a cliff top in Portugal, flying just below us. I then went back to our hotel room and marked out their size on the floor. 3m wing span. Scary!

The bl**dy neighbour 🤬

A chicken sized wood pigeon. Fat pig eats all the bird seed off the bird table.

Neighbours cat - who killed 7/7 baby birds last week. All in one night.

Snails, 6 inch long slugs, bindweed.

I can’t wrap my head around anyone feeding foxes, as a PP said they do. They don’t need the extra help, their population is thriving with no predators. This guy lives next door, happy looking fella but digs up flower beds at night and wrecks bins.

Cats. I need to get one of those alarms but I begrudge having to pay for something to stop someone else's pet shitting on my grass.

yesterday. Two random women. Yup. We just moved into our new home last Thursday, and have 15 foot part of brick wall not Completed yet (they start on Monday) two women walked from the street behind, through the neighbor behinds back garden and stepped over the base that is already in for the wall. The neighbors are back in their home country for a month or two so don't know. I said "excuse me?" what are you doing.?" they answered in spanish (we live in the dominican republic) that they always cut through here to get to their next cleaning job. Told them to stop as we have two large dogs. Guess what. They did it again today . Good thing by next Friday our whole back garden will be walled in!!

I love them, got them all over our lawns and they disappear after spring.

Elderly next door neighbour throws open bags of expired and rotten veg over (she thinks it's a nice thing to give to my rabbits and guinea pigs). And I have to scrape the smelly mess up.
Or, although she hates my cats coming into her garden, she leaves leftover chicken with bones or even breaded and they bring it back over the fence, hissing at anyone who tries to get to it. My oldest has a dicky tummy so I can then get treated to diarrhoea somewhere downstairs or vomit (always, fucking always on my bed).
She is well over 90 and deaf but also stubborn and will not listen.
If one of my cats poos in her garden, she picks it up with her bare hands and throws it onto my patio (I have a camera in the back garden).
But the worst was a couple of months ago. Her recycling bin hadn't been emptied (yes I have a camera out the front too for very serious unrelated reasons). She pulled both of our bins up our shared path and took something large and white out from the top of hers and put it in mine. Then she looked from side to side to see if anyone had seen her.
I brought my empty bin in to find a very yellow piss soaked pillow in the bottom. The smell was awful. I took it out of my bin and left it down our shared alleyway against her garden gate door. It disappeared the next day and she's never mentioned it.
Wtf is wrong with people?!

Bloody cats from my neighbours crapping on the borders - thankfully my young dog is determined to chase them so hopefully they’ll learn to stay away.
Beech leaves from a hedge 100 yards away, no other in sight , big heaps build up every autumn.
Slugs and snails- very stony soil, backed onto woods so inevitable I guess. The resident frogs, toads and slow worms make very little impression and the birds can only eat so many!

Have you her permission to have a camera recording in her backyard. I would be very annoyed to discover my neighbour had been recoding me.

no garden - but I have fucking snails on the balcony. 3 floors up!

I’d be very tempted to ping it back over the fence. Cats are awful.

Sorry to be arsey on a fairly innocuous thread OP but are you writing a series of articles? What’s with the multiple threads with essay type gardening questions and then one word contributions from you?

How? 😆

Omg you win. Thank fuck she’s over 90.
