Aftermath
Here is what my garden looked like two weeks ago:
Underweeded, but verdant and pleasing to the eye:
With pretty flowers:
Here is what my garden looked like today when I got home,
after
numerous
"improvements"
which were inflicted upon us by our ass-brained management company, including: landscapers who came to "clean" the patio with less than 12 hours' notice and then apparently did not recognize MY FLOWERS as things that SHOULD NOT BE TORN UP OR TRAMPLED UPON; painters who draped a plastic tarp over the vegetation for two days, smothering most of the survivors; someone doing roof/wall repairs today who rained a pestilence of concrete bits and old paint down upon the patio and then, just to make their point, came onto the patio and trampled it some more.
I think the saddest part of my attempts at recovery was ripping up the remains of my five-foot sunflower.
Rest assured that the fuckers will be receiving a whopping bill for reimbursement after I buy me some new plants.

Fuckwits. Arsewipes.

I'd ask how anyone could be so thick, but I've had it done to me before I remember well their lame excuses.
Is it too extreme to wish death on those who impose the same on 'lesser' species, not as a matter of survival, but of sheer idiocy?
