Although it taken some effort, I have a nice mix of real grass and broadleafs on my boulevard. I do have a question for list members. It sometimes seems that boulevard gardens can get out of hand. Occasionally, plants are so thick and high that it's not possible for passengers to exit through a car door on the boulevard side making it necessary for them to exit on the traffic side or to waste gas maneuvering to let them out at a driveway. It seems to me that boulevard gardens can be as discourteous as allowing trees and bushes to intrude onto sidewalks. What do others think? Michael Atherton Prospect Park TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
