I did garden, but then a mother and 3 ( originally 4 ) kittens decided it was their playground, so what could I do?, some of the slow growing perenials that I was pleased with and natured from seeds were totaled by their fury antics, and my compost heap became their toilet,............again I ask you , what could I do?

not much luck

only sometimes.

all of my tomatoes died.

 

I have ordered a fugicide from the gardens alive webstite (organic)

peppers, basil, and eggplant arent doing too well either.

 

my rose bushes, two died, and 4 of them are doing well.

 

my banana trees are doing excellent. lots of fruit,little baby banana

trees are

starting to sprout along side of them.

 

my mango tree and papaya trees are just a year old, so no fruit.

 

my guava tree looks a little sick. I suspect the same fungus problem.

 

I have concord and red seedless grapes doing well.

 

all of my strawberries plants died while I was in ny. either someone

ate them, or they just wilted.

 

oranges and pink graprfrut and yellow grapefruit trees are doing well.

 

I have blueberries. a fig baby tree with fruit! I just bought last

week and cost me only five dollars. hope it doesn't die.

 

I am very interested in setting more flowers for butterflies.

I am also interested in providing more santuary for birds.

 

my backyard is not that big. normal suburban, maybe half an acre? or

less. don't really know. the insects love it because I don't use any

pesticides.

I have just been gardening for just one year. trials and tribulations.

 

some people plant large various prickly cacti garden in the front

entrance

just before entering their house. (to discourage burlglars)

i thought that was interesting.

Wow!! nikki!

 

I guess you don't have to go to the supermarket very often.

you've got one in your backyard!

 

that is wonderful. there must be nothing healthier, jucier tasting

than stuff

grown in your own backyard.

 

congratulations and enjoy!

*gasp*

 

I am so sorry Fraggle! That's terrible!

 

Did he have a permit for the work done? Is it too close to the

property line?

 

If no to the permit and/or yes to the line, you can possibly do

something about it with the city hall.

 

What a terrible waste!

 

This isn't the neighbor with the little boy is it?

Hi Peter

in the Welsh valleys! Think yourself lucky!

Oh I do! It's small, but it's mine. And we have a beautiful backyard.

No closets, no storage and we are always next to each other, but it is

not that bad. And again, it's mine!

 

What are the Welsh Valley houses like?

Most welsh housing is a remnant of its mining heritage, when communities sprang up around the coal mines. The easiest way of accomodating the workers was to build streets of terraced houses/cottages all joined in a row. My house was built over 110 years ago, and like all the other houses was originally a 2 up 2 down ( rooms that is ), It has had an extension built since those days to provide a kitchen and another bedroom, and an extension downstairs on the extension to provide a bathroom.This means that we all have a bedroom, have 1 living room, kitchen, and a bathroom.

The front door opens straight onto the street, at the back I have a small garden.

 

AT THE turn of the 19th century only 600,000 people lived in Wales, but by 1901 this figure had almost quadrupled to over two million. This population boom is impressive enough, but it was far from uniform across Wales. Most rural counties saw only modest population increase (Cardiganshire, for example swelled from 43,000 to 61,000 over the century), but the South Wales Valleys saw massive leaps in population, with Glamorgan witnessing a ten- fold increase from 71,000 to 860,000 a century later.

 

Welsh heavy industry was in its heyday. It was Welsh slate that roofed houses the world over, Welsh coal that fired the industrial revolution, and Welsh products in iron, steel, copper and tin that helped build modern Britain. All these industrial workers needed housing, and it no surprise therefore that there was a lot of building going on in 19th century Wales.

 

The result, of course, was distinctive rows of terraced homes seen in the South Wales Valleys, in the slate mining areas of Gwynedd and in any town where industry required speedily-built housing for workers and their families.

This is a typical ( same as mine ) house in the South Wales Valleys.

The picture shows each house is the width of the average crap motor! having one front door, one downstairs window and two upstairs windows at the front.

 

A bit different to your average American family home eh?

From what I have seen on the telly most American homes seem to be quite large. Ours was built for farm workers. It was originally a sitting room, kitchen and two bedrooms - with a loo at the end of the garden. It has since been changed to have a downstairs bathroom (none upstairs) and divided one bedroom to make three. We do however have a fair sized front garden and large back garden, and a lovely view.

Hi Anouk

 

Oh it is amazing and I love it! I cannot imagine not having my own

garden.

 

The only problem with it is once winter hits and I have to buy fresh

veggies at the store, they just do not taste the same.

 

DH & DS rarely eat anything from our garden, so I share with a lot

of neighbors.

 

Nikki :)

That's terrible! You would think that at least he would have had the

decency to have told you so you could have harvested or moved the

plants.

 

If he is on the property line for your landlord, you can still use

that property!

 

Can't you contact the City Hall on this?

Aw, gee

*blush*

 

Well, I have too much really and don't want it to go to waste so I

am happy to share. Then extras go to Zak's school, my work, the bar

Dad goes to, and my compost container.

 

If ya move closer I'll share with you too! There's a beautiful house

for sale on my block and then 2 more a block down. And they don't

share walls!

 

Plenty of room for kittens...

 

Nikki :)

Yes, but you should be able to call anonymously at least. Complain

to them that you are a property owner near them, believe that they

did not have a permit and are overstepping their bounds. Let them

know that you believe it will take down the value of your property

with the neighbors being over the property line and if that happens

you will leave the community.

 

That should get someone out there to inspect it right away.

 

Can't you also tell your landlady that you do not appreciate her

lack of support. Let her know that by the neighbor taking her

property as well it will bring down the value of the house if it

ever sells. It also knocks down renters value as well. Maybe then

she will do something about it if she knows hoe it is affecting her

wallet.

 

And if in the end it does nothing, at least you tried.

And then there's always the idea that that since you now how less property, there should be less rent?earthstrm <nikkimack wrote:

Hmmmm, the Bay Area (Oakland being a small part) + landlady living in Stateline. I'd think even mentioning how much the rent is, let alone asking for a reduction would very possibly = raise in rent!
