It’s spring, plants and flowers are going all out blooming around here. It would be nice to knock and let us know if you want to pick flowers in anyone’s property, instead of just trespassing and helping yourself to the flowers we’ve grown🤦‍♂️.

Be nice and just knock on the door to ask for permission.

I’ve allowed quite a few numbers of people coming in asking if they could help themselves to the flowers, so just please please please do not just trespass and help yourselves to the flowers randomly and helping yourselves to them without even asking!!!

Best part is am at home and they are aware am looking at them at the window🤦‍♂️
