Frillylilly that is exactly the problem/dilemma I'm having. Since it is completely on her property, I can do nothing with it. And she does come over and mow along the fence etc and keep it up, so the problem isn't that she isn't caring for it. My butterfly bush was "touching" her fence and she took clippers and trimmed it off exactly along the line...which I understand is her right, but really??!! When she did that, I considered that the last straw and started considering the second fence solution.
If you look at the top picture in my 1st post, that's the way I would like to have my yard...lots of tall flowers etc along the fence which I can't do the way it is now. I'd also like to hang feeders etc.
I personally think it's silly to have 2 fences right together but what other option do I have?? I was considering putting gravel etc in the space between the fences but then thought "why"??--it's her area, let her figure out what to do since she's the one with the "no touch" policy. In our area you can put a fence right along the property line which is what I will do, I don't know why she didn't. But then I might have had the "fight" if I did the plants against the fence thing anyway.
If it were me, I'd be like the "back" neighbor...as long as you don't damage the fence...have at it.
If I build the raised planters I would definately line the back of them with plastic etc to help protect the plants.
Thanks for letting me vent...I'm so frustrated .... I hate having problems with neighbors....
