 Hi, I am pretty upset. I was out on work on Friday and when I came home my maid told me the town council had decided to destroy all our gardens-plants on the ground. She stopped them from harming ours but the neighbours lost all theirs. Some were screaming bloody murder.Well it seems some bozzo complained about mosquitoes and they think the plants give them space to breed and hide.That's ridiculous as there's no standing water.We also found out that the Town council is entering us in the Cleanest Precinct competition and want to win the Gold medal. I'm sure it'll be good for their careers but what do we get?They came round later to our place and I asked them to give me time till Saturday to transplant the one I can save. The guys carrying out the job arent happy and have asked me to appeal so Pete (my husband) is gonna send a letter to our MP. It will be too late to save these babies though. But maybe I can replant without any harassment.My maid is taking it worse than me, she wants to save them all including the Banana, Papayas, Pumpkin , Tomatoes, okra beans, cukes and Bittermelon(Bette).We have moved those we could to pots, some I think may not make it. I am inconsolable. Have spent the last 2 days in tears and barely slept. Woke up crying several times. While the land theoretically belongs to the Management, everyone on the Ground floor (I live in a maisonette- 2 storey apt) has been gardening for the past 12 years(even before I moved in) without incident.Some folks may think I'm crazy for being so upset but you guys I think would understand.
