Across and alongside the track from our allotment was a 2ft wide bit of

superb growing position I dug over the bit opposite out plot and planted
surplus plants from our garden there, a number of TB Iris some large Red
Hot
Pokers, lots of hardy Geraniums and a small Paulownia.
Beginning to look nice until we went down there yesterday, some idiots
have
obviously been employed to strim the weeds and they have gone along the
wall
and strimmed everything to the ground!
I suppose if they had any intelligence they wouldn't do that job.
Rant over.


Bob that is do disheartening, how stupid, even someone with half a
brain should have known to leave them alone. Do you know anyone on
the Council who will bring up this sort of thing at their next
session?

I suspect it was a contractor for the local Water Co. as they have a sewage
pumping station at the end of the track.
Having spoken to them before about something else I doubt I would ever get
any sense.
The iris will regrow, and possibly the geraniums but I doubt anything else
will. I'll try marking it our with something to give them a clue.
