Thanks, greeneyes. I was talking with my husband yesterday about ordering more bamboo plants. I’ve always been tempted to try a “running” bamboo. Our neighbors on one side have a bunch of dogs that bark constantly, and sometimes come into our property. A thick screen of bamboo up by the stone wall might help us with that.
Our neighbors on both sides have dogs that are often off leash and roaming the neighborhood. Every time we go outside they come running toward us barking and growling like they own the place.
Not to mention that they sometimes lay down and roll in the garden. Well, the really bad part is that they scare my grand daughter when she is waiting for the bus, and have chased her back to the front door on occasion.
The one dog is a huge, and not at all friendly. They claim he would never bite, but we did ask them if they would please keep them in until after the buses run in am and pm.
This morning hubby went out to be with our grand daughter, and I came back inside. One of the smaller dogs was growling and snarling and started chasing her, but hubby scared him off.
Well, ya know he was so upset that he went down and told the lady that if that dog ever bit our grand daughter, it would be the last bite, and last breath for doggy. The woman said that they try to keep her tied up, but sometimes she breaks free.
Subdivision rules are that dogs are not allowed to roam. They are to be on leashes or in outside fenced in areas.
Bamboo will give you a visual screen
Rugosa Roses will give you an impeneteable visual and translocate screen.
Don't screw with the hurtful/ bloodletting thornes - I know form expierience during hunting season.
