Well they certainly know we’ve built a pool in our backyard in the past year.
A pool is def easy to see from the air. Besides, the neighbors just might have noticed the bulldozer, dump trucks, grader, cement mixer, etc. Rows of vegetables might be a little less noticeable.
What I’d actually like to do is transform my front yard so that there is a brick walkway down the middle of the yard with a cutting garden type border on either side. I love fresh flowers but the standard perennial garden doesn’t yield enough to fill the house consistently all summer; a cutting garden does. This isn’t practical but it would make me happy.
What I really can’t figure out how to sneak past the local Waffen Schutzstaffel is a few chickens. The community guidelines specifically forbid livestock and poultry. Considering the national and ethnic background of some of my neighbors, this might not ordinarily be a bad thing.
