Aw Moni, I thought you were gonna post my favorite fairy tale: Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl âÂÂWill you marry me?â The girl said, âÂÂNO!â And the girl lived happily ever after THE END But this is good too. I don't think I can even say "one day". You're better than I am!

Agree, Sheila. At our old house, we planted a lime tree, because I craved limes so much when I was pregnant with my daughter. We moved when my daughter was 9 years old and were sad to leave the tree. When we went back to see it, the new owners had shaped it into a box! It was so odd looking. Now my daughter asks me to avoid our old street. Sara-Ann, I don't see any reason why someone should say anything negative about a garden. Every gardener takes pride in their plants and nothing in nature is ever perfect. I wonder if there is a sign to remind people to notice the beauty in imperfections and keep their mouth shut. I laughed when I saw the Keira Knightly Pride and Prejudice movie and Lady Catherine says to Elizabeth's mother, "You have a very small garden madam". How insulting! After an interrogation, Elizabeth eventually says, "You have insulted me in every possible way and can now have nothing further to say. I must ask you to leave immediately". I love that line and thought of it when I read this thread. Perhaps it wouldn't be appropriate to say something like that to your DH's buddy, but you could think of it and smile.

Well for starters I wouldn’t have said anything at all. Just assume people are talking behind your back, because that’s what people do. ;) You’ve already sent it to the owner and the worker, what else do you want? An apology? You’ll probably get one, I’m guessing the owner will have the worker apologize. I mean, this isn’t a restaurant where the worst thing that can happen is they spit in your food, but if you’re not comfortable with them walk away now. My guess is they’ll be extra diligent because of this.
