To disguise a neighbor's less-than-pristine house, she planted a hedge on the other person's land!

    I'd be tempted, tempted to plant a little MaryJane in the yuppity neighbor's yard.

    Planting poisonous plants in an old lady's yard is not the kind of thing one wants to just let slide. Seriously, what if some neighborhood kid gets poisoned? Who gets blamed? What if the roots get into the sewer line as someone else suggested? Who pays for that? This uppity neighbor sounds like the type who will claim she was doing the LOL a favor, and since she didn't complain or remove the plants she thereby accepted responsibility for them. I think she needs to be put in check ASAP so she'll move on to being the petty dictator of (hopefully) her workplace or (unfortunately) the local schoolboard.

    I suppose you're lucky there's no neighborhood association or board, you know who'd end up running it and making up the rules.
