Are we too far north for camelias? Best to check the growing zones before buying/ planting them. Gardenias run a close second to them. Do they smell heavenly or what?

And I'm like "what does color have to do with it?"

Everything I have planted grows across the street!

Yes. My neighbors are my thieves. It is very discouraging. I love gardening, yet have given up.

Plants come in lots of colors; however, few are black.

Maybe they could become Angelbaby's next rehabilitation project.

I have read the law and it states that they are aloud to take what they paid for as long as it doesnt damage the actual house.
They must leave ceiling light fictures, lol.

flowers for everyone

I have been disillusioned by these particular neighbors. They are into Our Lady of Sorrows. I sent an email the the Reverend. I hope the see themselves in church. I really don't get it.

Fortunately, I can see the flowers I have purchased when I look at their home. When they look at mine it will be a NO TRESPASSING SIGN.

Yes. I am certain it is breaking the law. If I proved it. (Show a policemen my receipts.) I know the law does not have time to watch my house and catch him in action. Nor do I. So--I just have to give up on the garden plan.

Plant LOTS of rose bushes,hardy, nice flowers, nice smell, LOTS of THORNS!, Quince bushes, nice flowers, fresh fruit (similar tasting to a pear), LOTS of THORNS (BIG ONES), holly bushes, hardy, evergreens, nice red berries, LOTS of SHARP LEAVES. Blackraspberries, hardy, nice little blooms, nice fresh berries, LOTS of THORNS.

Just a few suggestions, lets see how fast THEY get stolen!

Don't give up yet!
