and one of your neighbors put a hideous vegetable garden in their front yard that assaulted your eyes every time you stepped out your front door?
I am that neighbor, and I'm very ashamed. But I REALLY wanted a garden and some blueberry bushes. Unfortunately there was only one spot in our yard that got enough sun (curse our neighbor's trees!). And there are a lot of rabbits here which have already decimated my pink lemonade blueberry plant, so what choice did I have but chicken wire?
Maybe $4.20/gallon gasoline will make my neighbors feel more kindly toward my garden when they can't afford to go to the grocery store for fresh produce and I give them some peas.
Or maybe Jake will fork out $1500 for trees and shrubs to hide the garden from view.
Or maybe there will suddenly be a surplus of rabbit pie and rabbit fur-lined gloves in the area, and I won't need chicken wire anymore.

First off, your neighborhood is beautiful.
The funny thing is that here in Portland, everyone grows their gardens wherever they can find sun, since it is in such a limited quantity here. SO they have them right up against the sidewalk or even the street, in containers, next to the walkways and porches- anything goes!
In comparison, I think yours looks discreet!
Phoebe, why can't I find your blog anymore? Have you gone private? Help!
I am really glad you were the neighbor because I felt bad about the comment I was about to leave, which was, "there is no such thing as a hideous vegetable garden, period."
I think it's safe to say that Jake won't be forking out any dough. But rabbit pie...mmmm. Now there's a solution! ;) I'm jealous, Charlotte. I want a garden!
Lovely garden, and the fact that you can grow blueberries is awesome!
I'm still a little hung up on the $4.20 gas... WHAT!?
And I think it is hilarious that Anne wants to change her name to Jessica!
