Or dont, and have issues with photos lol. I was just giving you a solution.

I appreciate it and I posted one today from my hot tub.

My iPhone is not the device I prefer to use.

I also figured out the other problem -- those photos were taken in video mode in error.

WOW that lawn is infested with violet weed.

WOW? It's infested with a lot more than violets... add clover, japanese stilt grass, chickweed, and a lot more to that list. I used to spend hours and hundreds of dollars per year on the lawn. It's not worth it. All those chemicals run directly into my fishing pond that holds 5+ lb. bass. There's no way to keep up with the invasive plants that we have in Virginia anyway.

Thats understandable, I don't blame you. I spend a fortune on my lawn and it's in golf course condition. The guy I hire only takes on 50 clients a year and I was very fortunate to get on his list early. That violet weed is impossible to stop without totally removing the current topsoil. When I move to Florida in a couple years a lawn won't be any concern of mine since the only thing that grows there is St. Augustine grass and it's indestructible.

Very Wide Ass — rather than a photo of my wife you desire to whack off to, pull your little soldier to this cucumber in my garden while sticking a large eggplant in your asshole..image.thumb.jpg.c59b22b702317f2dc4bc65d4bf3bfa34.jpg

Yeah, because a mail order bride coming to Canada to marry a mental patient like you was her best choice in the whole world, right? Shes a skank and you know it, THATS why you're too ashamed to show her picture! You'll show a dog but not your wife, that speaks volumes!

Let me throw mine into the mix, but first, this is a terrible time of year for these pics. Most of this stuff blooms in early summer and some of it, like the Spider plants (I think they are) are drying out before fall gets here.

Also, there are three things that are problematic here; Mulberry Trees, Creeping Charlie and Poison Ivy. The Creeping Charlie was out of control when I bought the house and that's just not at the top of things to address here. I've cleaned out a lot of the garden beds, since the previous owners just let things grow out of control and my neighbors to the rear obviously give no fucks about the shit that's growing over and through my fence.

And, this is the dry season where it almost never rains so yeah, I know my Hostas, etc look thirsty and finally, tree pruning is never ending. I've got to get caught up on the Lilacs along the side BIG time (Now that I see this picture, probably today), and where the AC is, I call "just let it grow wild" lol

Every thing is trial and error. I never had this level of landscaping before.

Looks nice, very well-maintained. You need longer down spouts though.

I have those Flex-tube extension. I take them off when I mow the lawn and didn't put them back before the pics and thanks. Another year and attacking the ground ivy should make a huge difference. I'm going to cut around the landscape line and till in between the plants and put down a barrier with mulch, hopefully next spring

Not sure yet. I met a farmer at Menards that was buying a pallet of some kind've grass seed, I think it was, that also attacks the Creeping Charlie. He said his neighbor's yard is infested and is working it's way into his yard. I have to do some research to see what works best

That stuff is a bitch. I pay a guy to maintain my lawn chemically. I knew a guy that had that ivy and the only way he cured it was removing the topsoil.He claimed that Scotts 2 wilted it but it would always return strong.

My neighbor at my old house told me about dealing with it in his yard but it wasn't anything I was really worried about then, but I might shoot over there and see what he did. I know he told me it was a real pain in the ass

What a mess. That tube looks sharp and that duct tape really sets off the look. I can just imagine the smell off dog shit and dog piss as well.

It would be one thing if he didn't come out talking about his yard like it was some palatial garden and then post pics to prove it's nothing but average and gaudy

Eventually that stuff works its way into the house through an open window and wraps your neck while your sleeping .BE CAREFUL!

The whole property is unmaintained. Rotting wood everywhere, just lacks maintenance.  I couldn't live like that. That kennel has the wrong floor as well and you know that idiot just hoses down the shit and piss. Bacteria breeding ground for the dogs and very unhealthy and the smell must permeate the neighborhood.

Maybe he should get his wife to bathe more. You know how those third world indigenous people are
