ROFL! How crazy!! I cannot imagine sitting in my house and seeing the mailman climbing my fence and trampling my plants! People can be just bizarre! Hey, you do flowers, digginindirt: do you know about starting camellias without rooting powder from cuttings? I have bright green shoots right now: do you use them, or woody tips?Thank you Kikiriki . It took us 10 years to get to this stage of drive way. We stil have to seal the asphalt, but much better than the leaf pile we drive on til now. The fron did come with an exisiting concrete straight drive which apparently wasn't enough room for the previous owners as they just parked anywhere in the fron of the house making everything just a big dried out dust bowl. We laid out 4x4's to make the circular part, but funny enough people just thought that was to keep them from driving on the circular part and would pull up into the "yard" up to the 4x4's. Including the mailman . About a year latr we then put out the azaleas to give a clue that someday it would be a yard. The mailman however would still pull up and walk right through the azaleas trampling and breaking them until he had a clear pathway through them. A yaer after that we upped the ante by putting up a split rail fence between the 2 drives out at the road, and would you belive he would just pull along the fence, jump it, and walk through his pathway anyway??...Really!!??!! . I beleive we only "won" because he either quit or moved to another route, as we quit seeing him about 6 months later. The yard now looks like a real yard (always in progress), but no more issues with mail delivery.
