Holy green stuff!!

I was looking at privacy hedges, you know, just dreaming again. Playing the 'if I was rich' game, when I discovered there's a whole world of artificial hedges now! I had no idea. The one above is not real. There are all sorts of them, from boxwood to evergreen and even ivy. Are you kidding me?? They look real! They are approved for outdoor Winter use. They can be secured for high winds and storms. No trimming, no shaping, no waiting years for them to grow. OMG. Look at that. If you used those as a background for real plants and flowers, no one would ever know unless they walked up and grabbed them. You could even take them with you if you moved. Add this to my dream house list. Hell yes.

They also have real preserved boxwood hedges. This stuff is amazing. They will build any custom unit you can dream up to cover your space. Holy cow.

That's pretty sweet. No mess or fuss, just green hedges. I wish I was quick enough to think up this shit. Like when I thought of packaging ketchup in a container like the sweet and sour comes in. Then one day I see someone else invented it. DAMN.

Love it! That's what I need, wouldn't have to trim the shrubs. I'll let ya'll know when the rich uncle dies.

I've seen the chain link fences with the ivy. From a distance, they work. I like the no trimming part.

Casey, I get what you mean. When I first started teaching, I would carry
a wet roll of paper towels in a plastic bag on field trips. I think they would be called WET ONES today. I guess this is a case of hind sight. Damn! I could be rich right now!
