I am sorry I Planted Yellow Sedum
Comments (46)Man that really sucks, but mowing over it will actually make it worse because of the plants ability to take root from single pieces of plants, even a single needle can become a separate plant. A lot of succulents are able to do this quite easily. I still have the stuff growing back, but most of it is growing underneath bushes and other plants and just pull it when I notice it. I got rid of periwinkle the same year, 2 years ago, both have a few plants popping up here and there my next door neighbor planted English ivy, and it is spreading into my yard, I'm going to ask him if I can pull it eventually and offer to plant an alternative that isn't such a destructive plant. English ivy in Michigan isn't usually so bad because of the winters here, but a few warm winters and it could become much more invasive....See Morei'm sorry, I gotta complain:
Comments (19)ladyrose, did you have a trade list in place when the change to Houzz happened.... I thought all had been restored, the link is in the article here.... https://support.houzz.com/hc/en-us/articles/204109398-Where-is-my-Trade-List- To edit your trade list, go to your profile page, then click on Edit Profile, then Advanced Settings. On that edit screen, you will see a box marked My GardenWeb Trading List. You can make changes there, be sure to save any changes.... I didn't have a trade list up but did have some clippings stored, someone gave me the instructions on how to bring those back manually. It would probably work for the trade list too, if you don't find yours let me know and I'll look for those instructions again (involved googling my GW name and finding the 'cache')...See MoreNeighbors... don't even know where I'm posting this. Sorry. I'm new.
Comments (23)Sounds like a few possibilities- if daughter/grandkids moved in recently there must be no father on a continual basis. The boy may not understand that your house is no longer 'his' home. He may have witnessed/lived with a defiant/violent/drunk male in the past where this type of behavior is all he saw. Monkey See- Monkey Do. He may be ADHD. ADD. Fetal Alcohol Sydrome Disorder child. - 91-94% of ADHD/AUTISM is later diagnosed at early school age or adolescent age as FASD. ... It IS his mother who needs to set boundaries. Grandma already raised her kids- it is not her responsibility. Is the mother an alcoholic? Drugs? Physically or mentally abused and does not have the capacity herself to guide her children. You may not know these answers yet but dig. Ask grandma over or out for a hamburger. Discuss your worries with her and she may shed some light on the situation. Or not... It is not the child's fault, as much as it puts stress on you. Be proactive- lock your garage door. Lock your home doors. Ask a legal person if YOU may put a lock on the gate. Look at your County Clerk office tax assessment/file to see who legally put up the fence- you may be surprised to find out it is really your fence. Talk to your insurance company- they will have suggestions about how you can cover yourself. Most of these things are private and the neighbor's will not know of you trying to figure out the situation. Sometimes it DOES take a village to raise a child- especially a mentally affected child. I am blessed- I too have a connecting yard because two sisters and their husbands lived side by side. Then they were widows. I was able to know/visit the sister that previously owned my house for a year, before her death a few months ago at 100 years old... Her sister is my neighbor at 90, who is a wonderful woman. Don't dispair- there is a reason you are there. Figure out why as exhausting as it is right now. Chin up!...See MoreI feel sorry for the plants at Home Depot
Comments (3)Ask to speak to the manager in charge of the garden department. Or better yet, phone in a complaint. They usually do or try to do something about it. Some times a sales person will mark down the item if you ask. Some times not. I think the vendor is responsible for taking the plants back and replacing with new. That's why I never see them discount like Lowes or Walmart....See Moreharborrose_pnw
