RE: sharing garden with neigbors/passers-by

I just returned from a tour of my neighborhood, checking out everyone's
garden.  I am one of those that keeps tabs on various plants in the area.
There is a yard nearby that is pretty wild, but very well done (I like
wild).  Then it was just plain wild and out of control, and I wondered what
had happened.  Then I saw the people there with a baby......  Now the baby
is walking and all three of them are out  in the yard and it is back to
looking great!
