Do your neighbours mow over your new verge plants? Attack them with the whipper-snipper? And nobody will do anything about it. Is it time to give up, or try a different approach?
I guess I can be as opinionated as the next person, but it surprises me that anyone would take it upon themselves to actually mow over someone else's work outside the realm of their own responsibility. I can understand that the urge to remove weedy plants but ..... respect and restraint! Well done. Maybe one day you'll be able to engage the gardeners in a conversation about the benefits of native plants vs exotics. If only local newspapers still existed where issues like this could be raised and discussed, highlighting the poor behaviour of growers and retailers in continuing to supply invasive plants.
