I have realized that I have a love of plants that "naturalize" - which means that almost everything I plant has the potential to pop up in my neighbors' gardens! One of them has a landscaping company do everything, so I'm not too worried about that, but the other (very lovely) neighbor is also a gardener and has expressed a bit of concern over my love for plants that reseed like crazy...

Both she and another gardener down the street have also expressed mild dismay at my Mexican Primrose, saying "if one person on the block has Mexican Primrose, everyone has it!"

And now I'm growing a Black Eyed Susan Vine up one trellis and a Morning Glory up another...

Am I asking for trouble?? Have any of you cottage gardeners had any trouble with neighbors?

Here are a few of my favorite pics so far.
