What would you do?

tink,

I just got in on this one on the tail end too. I use to work in the Auditors office here in Indiana and have moved down the the Recorders office. We have seen alot of problems like this. Normally the people with the garden have the right to
either move their plants or at least harvest them. But I'm not sure you have a good comunication with your neighbors. I would at least let them know you were putting up a fence and that part of their garden is on your property. But like I said. I don't know the whole story. I would contact your county's plan commission and see what they would have to say about who has the rights here.
They should know.

Your in my prayers.

Thanks ladies.
The surveyor promised to be here on Tuesday, so we'll soon know to what extent our issues with the garden go. I'd love to be able to just let them pick their stuff, get along decently, and not have to spend all this money on a survey and fence. We have about 3/4 acre, so you can imagine fencing it isn't going to be cheap!

The last survey we had done cost us $2,500, so this isn't something we do without good reason. We'll be the only ones in the village with a fence for any purpose other than to hold in livestock, which isn't a trend I really want to start.
Depending on how much the actual survey costs, we might end up just putting a fence up between their place and ours and enclosing a couple of kennels to keep the dogs contained in a different area. The other sides of the lot might have to wait til we can come up with more cash.
