[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. A classic phone conversation with her went like this: (I swear to god I’m not making this up)

Obsessed neighbor: I’m just calling to discuss your grass experience with you.
Me: (desperately wondering whether she’s for real) What is it you would like to know, Margaret?

Next time I think you should just tell her if she wants to discuss it then she should try to catch the landscaping service that comes over and mows because they would know about grass etc and don't engage with her beyond that.

I have no idea what kind of grass, shrubs or tress we have in our yard. And I don't care. They turn green in the spring/summer and pretty much are barren and die in the fall/winter so I think they are all doing ok at this point. We have a service as well and they have never mentioned any issues.

If the neighbor has something legitimate such as the roots of your tree are growing into her foundation, ok that makes sense to hire someone to assess it and fix it. Or if your tree was really spilling over into her property and they asked about getting it cut back that makes sense to address.

Gardening is a hobby. It doesn't have to be yout hobby.
