I just snapped off a long piece by mistake from a flowerbed that isn't even mine! I sort of weed and water a bit -on my neighbor's flowerbed up by my fence. She is a young girl with no interest in landscaping. The others before her put in a high maintenance yard and enjoyed gardening. The yard is going to pot now. They had someone come in and hack everything in the flower beds down to 2 ft tall and took down a massive shading tree. A few of the shrubs are coming back but things are dying because of lack of water and shade. I did see the spr-inklers on for a couple days last week so there is a slight chance things may change. An entire bed of fern is gone and the azaleas behind it not far from death themselves. I water 1 foot in where a nice little volunteer crepe myrtle has grown to 4 feet tall. I hope it take place of the oleander that is dying off. The Crepe Myrtle will at least bl-ock the view of a dying landscape from my eyes.

So while pulling up some morning glory on the other side that had wrapped around the wrought iron fence, up came a branch of Purple Jew with it. I guess I will root it and put it back in my own yard. Do you think it will realize how lucky it is to live in MY yard and not my neighbor's??
