Across and alongside the track from our allotment was a 2ft wide bit of soil
covered with weeds against a S. facing wall. Not being one waste such a
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.

Maddening, but as you say they are probably trained to use strimmers
safely but indiscriminately. However, Iris and "Red Hot Pokers" would
surely be obviously desirable flowers, even to them?
