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

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.


OMG! what a crying shame

Our council employ contractors who cut any green space to the ground,
thus destroying the habitat for bees and other insects. They don't
remove all the paper, bottles and cans which give Birmingham suburbs
their distinctive look!
