    Asking some anonymous neighbor to remove their peanut tree was pretty funny.

    But maybe more, blaming the barking dogs - complainer’s own dogs - on a mysterious peanut feeder, as though squirrels wouldn’t be running around the neighborhood, playing on the fences and trees anyway, is like the poster has never experienced squirrels before.

        That’s what’s so funny. Get rid of your peanut trees. And your raisin bushes. Tear our the potato hedge.

              I have a yard but opted for a grow bag. After a while I saw buds pop up, but it looked sparse. The results seemed as though they’d be a disappointment, until I unearthed them one day and had a ton of potatoes. None particularly large, but it was pretty awesome to discover. And let me tell you, I did so very little to keep them alive. They’re pretty easy to grow.

              And the grow bags are now the home to two blueberry bushes that I also do nothing for, and the fucking birds come and they eat my goddamn blueberries, and so maybe next year!

                Can whomever it is in the neighbourhood with a blueberry tree please remove it? The birds keep landing on our fence to eat them and our cat is hurting our eardrums from all the meowing. She cant ignore them, its her prey drive. Also they are dropping blueberry skins all in the bushes and our neoghbours son has a blueberry allergy.

        What, kids and allergies? Are the squirrels feeding the children peanuts? You have to eat the peanut to get an allergic reaction. It doesn’t work like fentanyl on cops, you won’t die by just being around the peanut.

          Are you saying they shouldn’t let their child out in the garden anymore? Or how do you expect them to always watch their child and stop them from putting a peanut (shell) into their mouth?

      Bro you’re like the 15th person to say peanut tree without it being a joke. I’m thinking we need a public service announcement.
