My neighbors succeeded in killing off an entire fence length of beautiful ivy, except for this bit. I tried to save the others that had been cut back over and over… to no avail.
And.. I still stand in the middle of the back yard, looking into their house -because there’s no thick wall of ivy anymore- and wonder WHY.

Because people suck. Only thing you can do is plant something on your side of the fence to give you the privacy you deserve.
LOL! Yes, they do. Most people only think about things from their perspective… and myself, sometimes.
