I know to Paul I had one who use to look over the 6ft fence they put up when they thought I could nt see them to see where my plant s were and get her husband to kick a football at force at them to brake my plants once the ball missed me by an inch as they could nt see I was in the garden I came back one day all my plastic green house was shredded to bits and a large wooden hand made windmill smashed to pieces another day I returned and my tall bird table had gone dragged over their side of the fence knocking off my bird water drinking vessel attached to their side of the fence.

Marie planted her husbands boots up placing them by the back door her and her husband had split up if I recall right her garden needed digging so bit by bit she tried doing bits one of the neighbours always watched her each time she went out to dig so the female neighbour enquired about not seeing her husband there for a while being nosey and asked about his boots being out side planted up Marie heard the neighbour thought she had done him in so Marie went out and buried a fake hand in the garden just sticking out of the soil when the neighbour seen this she phoned the police .
Marie watching seen she had noticed the hand then removed it so the police arrived the next day the police asked about her husband Marie explained they had split up not satisfied the police started to search the garden digging it up saying they have had a report a body part was seen in the garden the next day her husband arrived to see the kids but was not allowed in by the police so he explained he had come to see his kids it was then the police realised he was the husband and was alive but Marie got most of her garden dug by the police.

I showed the GD,those sneakers. I told her "Give me your shoes so I can plant my tomatoes in them!"..and then chased her around as she laughed.
Made my day!

That's amazing Stan. You can eat fresh tomatoes and have a piece of faux art all at the same time. I think for tomatoes I'd go with a boot.

Was nt it just Paul dont think I ll ever forget it either Marie did have a good sense of humour.
