The family tried to sell the house in the Fall but it didn&#8217;t sell so they decided to rent until the housing market is a little better.<\/p>\n<p>So &#8230; come January 1st a lady with two kids and a young boyfriend will be moving in.  The kids are 6 and 9 years old or so we&#8217;ve heard.  We haven&#8217;t met the new people, but in talking with our former neighbors son it sounds like the people gave them an &#8220;iffy&#8221; feeling.  I hope they turn out to be <em>ok<\/em> neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>Our former neighbors on the other side of our house had a kid, but we have a high fence on that side so we only had to deal with the occasional toy thrown into our garden.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>The side of the house that the new neighbors will be on has a shorter chain link fence and some of our roses and other plants tend to hang over or creep over to their side of the yard.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that the kids are well behaved and don&#8217;t start pulling on my plants or damaging them come Spring and Summer.<\/p>\n<p>In the Spring Chris and I will take a good look at the roses and Rose of Sharon that&#8217;s growing on that side of the yard and give them a trim in order to make sure that they aren&#8217;t going into the neighbors yard.<\/p>\n<p>If you have neighbors with kids or possibly bad neighbors have they ever gotten into your garden or damaged your plants?  Yes I know, some of you will probably have horror stories of wars with neighbors.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>I&#8217;m just asking since I&#8217;m used to having older neighbors around rather than young kids.  I also have some poisonous plants in my garden (monkshood, Datura etc) and that&#8217;s another reason why I hope that the new neighbors kids are good and stay in their own yard.<\/p>\n<div class=\"912745ff53504cd4aef8ff3ef7b9aa95\" data-index=\"9\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<br\/> <br\/>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* gardengrows_underpost_300x250 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"0957462354\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<br\/>\r\n\r\n<?php if ( is_search() || is_single() || is_page() || is_paged() || is_category() || is_archive() ) { ?>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\nch_client = \"dragonden\";\r\nch_type = \"mpu\";\r\nch_width = 468;\r\nch_height = 250;\r\nch_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\r\nch_color_title = \"FF9B00\";\r\nch_color_text = \"333333\";\r\nch_non_contextual = 4;\r\nch_vertical =\"premium\";\r\nch_sid = \"gardengrows_betweenposts\";\r\nvar ch_queries = new Array( );\r\nvar ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));\r\nif ( ch_selected < ch_queries.length ) {\r\nch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];\r\n}\r\n\/\/--><\/script>\r\n<script  src=\"http:\/\/scripts.chitika.net\/eminimalls\/amm.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br\/><\/div>\r\n<?php } ?>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 1st the home next door will have new people living in it.
