The neighbor in the unit on the other side of the duplex now has flowers and fresh mulch in his flower bed. I dunno how that happened, they just sorta appeared there in the middle of the night :).

Uh, wouldn't he have had the same bark over rock over soil problem you had to begin with?
ReplyDeleteAh that midnight 'powdered' fire I guess, it burns brightest in the dark.

Yes, it's an extension of the same flowerbed. But it turns out that a large mattock/pick does a great job of dealing with that situation. I don't know how I know that, just that I do ;).

Middle of the night?
ReplyDeleteThey must be very sound sleepers.

The duplex is long and skinny, with the bedrooms at the back. You can't hear anything at the front while sleeping, especially if you have your bedroom door closed to keep the dog out. (Yes, they have a dog).
DeleteRegarding the flowers looking good from my side, well, it did look sorta dumb to have flowers and mulch, then suddenly like a knife cut down the middle of the flower bed there was just old bark nuggets and weeds.
But anyhow, the neighbors are on vacation right now, and when they get back I'm sure they'll just assume the landlord did it to spiff the front of the place up a little bit :).

Ah ha ! So the Landlord hired some poor immigrant to spiff up the rest of the yard. It was not "the midnight rambler" kind of a thingy after all.
ReplyDeleteCareful, you don't want to be a troublemaker to the Landlord .
PS you helped provide some poor gardener with a few extra bucks, Feel Good you are an 'employer' now.

The landlord actually pays a gardener who comes out every Wednesday and cuts the grass and who supposedly is supposed to take care of everything else that's in the common areas, such as this flower bed. So clearly the gardener did it ;).
DeleteRegarding troublemaker to the landlord, I haven't seen the landlord in two years, nor his property manager. It appears that their notion of being a landlord is to collect checks and otherwise ignore their properties. Hrm.

ReplyDeleteI do have to admit to being quite taken with the idea of stealth gardening.
ReplyDeleteNot that I would ever have the initiative to actually engage in it.
