I have new neighbours who had a bonfire right next to my garden,
and it has now damaged my photinia (and other shrubs). What was
lovely red new growth is now brown and crinkly and dead! Should
I cut it back to the undamaged parts? Now?

They've also taken down half the adjoining wall without telling
me, leaving bricks and rubble in my beds and damaging other plants
in the process and a couple of trellises that are now no longer
secured. I'm not best pleased and needed a bit of a rant!
Thanks, Eleni.

Our new neighbours did something similar when they moved in, only
in this case they took down a shed which was acting as part of the
boundary fence. This let their two dogs run riot in my garden,
c**p everywhere, inc on the patio (god dogs are stupid!), anyway
when I mentioned to them that it might be nice to reinstate the
boundary, he helpfully suggested an 18" high wall.

Well since they are neighbours, and since there's nothing worse than
living next door to people you're arguing with, we just went ahead
and put in place a 6" high fence.

Well, a fence that's only six inches high isn't going to achieve much!

You've done it again you bounder, I wanted to say that!

Well, a six-inch fence doesn't take much 'bounding' either...

Ir does when you are as (in)active as I am!(:-)
