I'm loving this "bad" theme here lately, so I think I'm going to start a sporadic series focusing on something I think a good deal about while shaking my head. Bad yard taste. And let me stop the hate mail here... I'm all for personal expression: garden gnome check, flamingo or two, check, wild garden for lawn check. But there are some things, I believe, that happen out there to yards, that we can all agree is just.. well, there's no nice way to say this: an abomination.
So here is my first entry to the "When Good Yards Go Bad" series, its worth clicking on to get the full effect:

| Replacing all grass in front yard with Yaupon...hell yeah, all of it! |
I give you not two, not three, but 4 rows of yaupon holly (and a short 5th if you look close), with rows three and four having no space between each other or between row 2. And even the two rows originally meant to flank the front walk are close to growing together. And lets not forget there was money changing hands for someone to turn this entire front yard into meatballs. I kid you not folks, these people, in a highly affluent neighborhood, have decided to fill their entire front yard with meatballs. I couldn't even get the other half of them in the same picture. They have another double row leading down the path to the back yard. I only wish I could get the whole effect on camera like you can if you happen to come across this place in town.
I love hedge, yes I do.
