I wonder if Donald Trump uses this guy?

I would assume that there is a buffer separating the wild flowers with whatever they are doing on the other side of the fence.

If you have walked pass my place, you would notice that my yard looks like it does not get as much attention as the neighbouring yards. Right to the fenceline, you can see a clear contrast in the health of my yard with that of my neighbours.

Parts of my yard near the fenceline resembles the quality of that of my neighbours. As I said, both neighbours on either side have yards that are in proper maintenance. My yard gets a mow every 2 weeks (in summer) and every 4 weeks (in winter). I also put down potting mix and lawn seeds in August to try to revive the lawn after a winter's drought.

Sometimes, when my neighbours do their yard with lawn seeds, the seeds blow into my yard and make the lawn in sections look better than the rough other sections of the yard. I could imagine wild flowers blowing into the next yard. But that gate makes for a buffer from one yard to the other yard. What little wild flowers blow into the next yard would just be trimmed away by the gardeners.

No picture this time but I had a great laugh at this last Tuesday afternoon.

I was waiting for the council to empty the bins left near the road. Heard the sound of a truck that sounded a bit like the Veolia one that empties the bins.

Went to have a look but it wasn't the truck emptying the bins... it was a council truck with a big water tank on the back and they were going along watering the roadside trees... while it was pouring down with rain (and it had been raining most of the day).

So typical.

Fucking knew it.
