The agreement to plant the raspberries was with our OTHER neighbor. The property lines are very distinctive. There's no ifs, ands or buts about them. My property ends with the outer edge of my driveway and my OTHER neighbor's property ends with some painted pavers. The plant killer decided he wanted to fill in a small space that was missing some bricks... where I had my little stick planted. So the way I feel about it, he was traspassing on both of us! Where he was putting the bricks isn't even visible to the owner of that property. He never takes care of his yard, either, so he was glad that I have planted some things there since I've been killing the weeds that are next to my driveway since we moved in. LOL

The "plant killer" wanted us to cut a section of lattice away to form a "door" between his property and ours. The lattice is the property marker. He said we were more than welcome to come and sit in his patio. Why would we want to??? I'll post pictures tomorrow so you'll understand that there is absolutely NO reason to want to do that. LOL

As for the stick, it wasn't more than 6" tall. I cut off inch by inch, in front of him, to see if there was any green in it. There wasn't. That's when I explained that raspberries send out shoots sideways and that hopefully there was something growing underground, and that any rate, I was going to continue fertizing and watering "my little stick" that by this time was about 1/2" above ground. The square of dirt he allowed it is no more than 4"x4".

I tell you! If that little stick sends up a shoot, I'll sure be removing a couple of bricks from our OTHER neighbors walkway! HUMPH!!
