gorilla gardening

[homesweethome]

I have been gradually taking over a large portion of land that I don't own around my residence, but who owners refuse to maintain or even visit.

I say it is a fire hazard.

I am careful to only add semi-permanent value to the land. I cut the weeds and plant annual vegetables on it. I have considered a few perennials that will not suffer me much if they are lost, like wild looking raspberries and some quick growth shrubs, and tomatoes, and other things I can easily move off if I have to. For example I am considering grazing chickens and goats on their land.

As long as the owners are not around much, what do you think could happen to me if I am 'caught.';)

Sometime in the middle of the night there will be a knock on your door.
It will be the vegetable police.
You will be arrested and forced into hard labor for a very long time.
Good luck.......

I don't think anything will happen if you get caught.

I did see something on TV recently that if you grow vegies etc on their land the produce is legally theirs.

I think you should torch it and then when the fire spreads explain to the police that the owners never looked after it and therefore it caused the fire. Wait till it gets a bit warmer though.

And that high oil content, cannibus stuff, burns like crazy...

so that is why they have to pay me to build a new house because their carelessness, and lack of social responsibility resulted in my house burning down.:(

Don't take the vegetable police lightly.
They are watching you right now!
Taking notes in their little notepads.
Secretly taking pictures as you work on those ILLEGALLY PLANTED VEGETABLES!!

Run away........now!

[eku-bong]

actually grazing goats and some chickens to eat the mushi will improve the land greatly
its farking ugly. and they will probably just come with the whizzers and mow everything down mid summer anyweay.
plant some sages... they are quick growing and dont mind being cut down.. smell brilliant when the whizzers come to cut too.

They have overflown three times today and four times yesterday, I guess they have a problem with their focus lens.

We have loaded the vans now, and moving away at MAP (most appropriate speed).

Stand by;)

Glad you took my advice.
The only "bending over" that you want to do is planting veggies.
NOT the type of "bending over" that you will have to do in the concentration camp for ILLEGAL VEGETABLE PLANTERS!!

See you real soon. I'll help you get rid of the noxious weed pretty quick. ;)

Around 20km/h i presume?

Hi Homesweethome,

Why not just ask the owners if you can use it? If they say yes then you could go all out. Veggies, goats, chickens, etc!!

You are a dear Ken.


Actually I did and they said PLEASE use it!!! Cut the weeds, do anything you want.

I just thought this would be a more interesting thread.:o

[Hijinx]

Shouldn't this thread be called: "guerilla" gardening?"

i think that means growing your stash in the takeyabu...

not sure how gorillas garden though.

They do, but they're so busy monkeying around they hardly get any harvest.

Theme: We understand you’ve grown some champion vegetables in…a vacant lot near your apartment in Tokyo. How did you become such a card-carrying hippie?


(Laughs.) Good kickoff. Kind of happened by accident when I moved into an old Japanese house with a garden. After years of making useless bloody stuff, I was amazed to see the stuff make itself. Things that are alive just seem so much more useful—they multitask. Cleaning the air. Cooling things down. Making you feel good. Making your food, making the birds and insects food. Changing everyday. Oh, and producing insanely psychedelic, mathematically complex, impossible-to-print color blooms all over the place. Man! Lucky world.
