I would of given them the one finger thank you.

LOL Kinda drives people to do strange things, huh?

I sometimes pretend to be doing other things when I am out inspecting the seedlings. My house is right at the entrance to our development, so all traffic pretty much passes my house. For example, today I pretended I was picking up sticks that blew down during a recent storm :-)

Actually, I would laugh at that if it happened to me. Most of my friends know I'm a little obsessed about the lawn. This must've been a pretty sharp cookie, to come up with that while driving by!

I pretend too when I'm outside, always out looking around at something!

Most of my friends know I'm a little obsessed about the lawn.

Mine, too. However, if I'm going to inspect, I just go do it (twice a day, usually). I've gotten plenty of comments, too, most kind of nasty from people I don't know well and don't really want to know.

Funny. I've got the best neighbors and they know I like my lawn so I don't have to pretend that I am doing something other then checking out my lawn. Heck just last week I was doing a final inspection on of the dead grass just to make sure it was dead and my neighbors were outside watching me take pictures of it. Even funnier is that every time I'm outside doing something to my lawn the "Ladies" in the neighborhood come outside to check me out :) I had quite an audience this past weekend when I was dragging that aerator around... My next door neighbor said that if my KBG lawn turns out OK he will do his next fall.

I wish. One of mine stares at me until I look up, then quickly pretends to do something else.

I was passive-aggressively glad when I changed to the soybean meal. The bag is brown with no printing. Let him wonder.

If you're detecting that on average I like plants better than my neighbors, you'd be quite right.

rutgers, very funny! Our neighbors often comment with similiar remarks, which I know comes from affection. Answering with a rude comment or gesture is out of the question.

Many times when I'm mowing, seems like women pushing baby strollers stop and start talking with other women on the street infront of my lawn.

Doesnt bother me that they might be talking about me but I do feel uncomfortable riding around worried about the noise waking baby and possibly the blade tossing a stone or twigg injuring someone. So suddenly I can't mow anywhere near the street and have to go mow elsewhere.

You men are paranoid and obsessed. I doubt very much that it is the women checking you out. I think it is YOU checking out the neighbor women! LOL Women are not as interested in staring at the opposite sex as men are, especially women with baby strollers. You men are a bunch of animals. Lol -)

If you really want to mess with them the next time you are spreading soy bean meal, reach into the spreader, grab a handful and rub it into your face. The neighbors will fall over!

CGM is possibly the best organic fert to mess with people. It's bright orange color looks dangerous, and the amount applied as a pre-M makes it look REALLY dangerous. We have several dog-walkers that will only pickup the "deposits" if you happen to be watching them and so I have little love of these particular neighbors. When I was laying down CGM this past spring I figured it was a good way to keep them away for a couple days.

I tested my drop setting on the sidewalk between the street and my property and overspread a bit on either end of my property line. It was hysterical to see walkers of baby and dog suddenly turn off the sidewalk into the street and give me a look. No one actually said anything, but I didn't need to clean up any "business" that week. :) I was waiting for someone to pipe up about poisoning animals/people and walk over and grab a pinch, but it never happened, and probably for the better. I would prefer them to all think its hazardous pesticides!

When I was spreading my CGM, it looked like the end of the world. I was enveloped in an orange/yellow cloud.
