This is a plea for little empathetic mutters of Gardener's Outrage and perhaps a nice cup of tea... Also, there's a question.
So. I have a cream-and-green picket fence-line bordering the steet, the garden of which (inside my property - my own flowerbed) I plant up with pretty little cottagey things. Some of these (erigion, tiny wild violets, that sort of thing) poke through the palings in a way that I find quite adorable. You understand, these are very unthreatening species - not roses or rhus trees or nettles or anything...
Well. I have this neighbour-y person who walks along my fenceline poking things back in. Truly. There are maybe four little places where these flowers peep out and she pokes them all back in.
So this is my question.
Can I slap her?
