Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Help! Neighbors have taken away my privacy, 1 by DonnaMack

My next door neighbors made it quite clear to me that they were waiting for me to share my tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and peas whenever they are ready. Oh, and of course the raspberries, logamberries and gooseberries. They used to note how nicely they were coming along, and surely that there were too many for meet to eat alone and plenty to share?

Now that they leave me alone, I enjoy taunting them by going outside, picking cherries from the cherry tree, and showing my visible delight in eating them. After all, they can now see me, in most locations of my back yard, 24 hours a day!

In my old neighborhood, people were quite direct. If it wasn't neighbors peeking and spying, it was passersby and complete strangers who would say they that they understood that this was a real COMMUNITY so they were here for a tour of the garden. One guy walked 20 feet into my property and walked right up as I was digging dandelions, said he wanted a look around and started to light up a cigar. I told him that if he was going to smoke he would have to get off my property. Then I told him to get off the property in any case. He was completely shocked.

That's why the back of the property, off the alley (which people used instead of the street, complete with children, despite lots of cars, gawking at you without speaking, as though they were shocked that you were there) , looked like this.
