I guarantee that you will not see any peanut trees on my property.
Peanut shrubbery?
Ni!
Not sure how that’s facepalm… the dogs going wild constantly is a pain. It’s not like it’s the same person who had a child with a peanut allergy so how could they know? It’s not like they were being thoughtless or rude.
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.
Why are there so many of you fuckers out here that think peanuts grow on trees.
That’s what’s so funny. Get rid of your peanut trees. And your raisin bushes. Tear our the potato hedge.
Fuck, I wish I could just pick potatoes off of a hedge in my back yard.
Unfortunately I live in an apartment 😢
Do you have a balcony that gets good light? Google “potato grow bag” if you do, and if you wanna grow some potatoes 😁
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’s that have to do with the second red underline then??!
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.
Er, yeah it does work like that for some people.
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?
IDK, I don’t have kids, but I am pretty sure that “watching what Your child is doing” is kind of a thing.
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.
Maybe - and hear me out - it’s the dogs that are the problem?
“Can’t control their prey drive” is a bad excuse. You control your dog or you don’t deserve to have one. End of story. A dog barking endlessly is the responsibility of the owner to control or get rid of their damn dog.
It isn’t hard to teach your dog not to be a nuisance. I’ve done it before. Blaming the dog because you failed to teach/control it is not correct, and simply shows that you do not have what it takes to be a dog owner.
Yeah… my neighbor has two rats (I mean small little ankle biting POS dogs) who bark anytime someone walks remotely near the backyard fence which is on a Main Street because he lives on a corner… or they sit by the front window which he leaves open and bark/whine all damn day while he’s gone…
I 100% sympathize with the neighbor complaining about the barking…
I feel bad for the neighbors sure, but the post also mentions their own dog. Like if you can’t train your dog that’s on you.
Oh absolutely agree… my dog is crate trained because I know she’d go nuts in the backyard too if left alone…
Dogs hate very high pitched whistles that humans can’t hear. If you were to use one when they bark at you that might just train them not to… File that under unethical LPTs
LOL, the squirrels that were annoying my dog, were climbing on a tree next to the windows and barking at her (obviously not loud like a dog, but it was definitively barking), as if they were mocking her that she can’t do anything to them. I can imagine why dog would be upset.
Yeah birds sat outside my window and do that to my cats at my old house. It was hilarious for a bit.
Yeah squirrels chatter fucking obnoxiously
Everybody sucks here.
Get your dogs under control. If their barking hurts your ears, fucking train your dog.
Also, don’t feed wildlife. Squirrels are a natural part of the ecosystem, but if you feed them peanuts, they don’t go collect nuts and acorns and stash them. Stashing nuts and acorns spreads trees and grows forrests. Then you have too many squirrels and not enough food for all of them.
The previous owners of our home fed the squirrels. For the next 3 years after moving in they were breaking into our house, ruined all of the screens on the windows, chewed holes through our trashcans, spread trash on our yard, attempted to break in our cars and chewed holes in our fenders. All because they weren’t getting fed anymore.
Thousands of dollars in damage. Fuck squirrels.
Id like to make a complaint about all these loud dogs terrorizing my squirrels
Also the cat attacking my bird feeder
I have a kid with a peanut allergy and when peanuts started showing up all over the place outside, we asked our neighbors the same thing: please stop giving the squirrels peanuts. We couldn’t let the kids go outside in their own backyard.
Thankfully, our neighbors are all generally really nice people and not child-murdering monsters, and actually stopped it.
People: Keep your peanuts to yourself and do not feed wildlife. Both of those things are common sense.
I wish it were that easy for us. We’ve got a walnut tree somewhere in the neighborhood, and those furry little fucks keep bringing them into our yard and either trying to break them open on the driveway or they’re burying them in the garden planters…
I like feeding my squirrely friends too much to stop
If you must, consider things that are unlikely to kill other people. The furry little troublemakers definitely love birdseed and sunflowers…
i use spicy birdseed to feed just birds, not squirrels. and
You shouldn’t be feeding wild animals. Your HOA is correct and that person is a dick. You think that shit gets cleaned for free? Someone has to go out and clean up your shit.
Peanut shells are biodegradable so yes they do get cleaned up for free. By nature
Right, by attracting wild animals and vermin. Not everything composts.
What are you talking about? Peanut shells absolutely decompose. They are actually pretty good for adding nitrogen to your compost.
🤦♂️ 👌👍
Peanut tree … lol
I mean the peanut shells in the garden is actually worrying if you have a kid with a peanut allergy right. If it’s serious it could kill them just by touching it and then eating something with their hands.
Someone definitely has a peanut tree in the neighborhood.
It was Jimmy Carter’s fuckin’ peanut tree, he left it there as a token of spite for their neighborhood.
Peanuts grow underground
No they grow on supermarket shelves mate get it right
I was honestly expecting zero whooshes.
Woosh
How about sort your fucking mutt out. A family of squirrels should go hungry and someone has to cut down a tree because your dog is like its owner… a cunt
someone has to cut down a tree
Especially a peanut tree! They’re already so rare that most consider them to be a plant of myth.
Squirrels with peanuts are a nightmare. They dig up and throw potted plants around in their frenzy to bury their score, then forget where they put it and do more destruction.
I deal with stuff like this about 2 days a week
They also love to do this with pumpkin seeds. I was hoping for more volunteer pumpkin plants than it resulted in last year.
Is it worth it to see the cute little squirrels though?
Yeah, not to rain on the HOA meeting in the comments, but I’d be the one spreading peanuts for all the squirrels. I just put cashews in my tree to lure one closer.
yikes! i bet this dog “only wants to smell you”
It would be funny if someone is intentionally feeding the squirrels peanuts knowing about the dogs barking just to spite someone
My neighbor puts corn out for squirrels every year and now our backyard has corn come up every year.
What the hell is a peanut tree?
Obviously an existing plant in the universe of a person who had an average American school education.
Imaginary, since peanuts grow underground like potatos.
It’s more of a vine, like spaghetti.
