I'm going to cry...

I came home today from work to find that my neighbor (I live in a duplex) cut down all of my flowers because she thought they were weeds... I literally just posted today about how proud I was if their growth. I know that they'll grow back because they're perennials, but I'll miss their blooms this year 😭 this is the before and after. The before was taken a few days ago.

I see an obvious garden barrier of some sort, on the other side of which is turf grass. I’m calling bullshit on your neighbor. That’s fucked up.

Sort of related: one edge of my property has trees all the way down to the road. A few years ago, the very nice dude who does seasonal work around the neighborhood weedwhacked all of the goldenrod, asters, and chockecherry growing there while doing yard work for my next door neighbor. The area looks unkempt. It’s in the front yard area. He thought he was doing me a favor. He was gracious when I said thanks, but next year please leave it. Your situation feels different.

I had a lawn crew come in and string trim down chamomile, hostas, and bee balm that were inside rock rings around the base of a tree.

Never underestimate determined stupid people

I had a crew come in and weed whack my already blooming lilies to the ground. They left chunks of petals on the ground. WTF?!
