Inconsiderate arseholes
Why are people such pricks?
Yesterday I went out the back to check on the wonderful little organic vegetable garden. It is a small 10m x 80cm plot at the back of our property at the end of a common lane way.
Lovingly nurtured in this vegie garden are:
- Several types of chilli including the Habanero, Cayenne and Bulgarian Carrot varieties
- Black Russian tomatoes
- Capsicums
- Beans
- Rockmellon
- Normal tomatoes
Upon arriving at the garden I was shocked and more than a little pissed off to find that some inconsiderate arsehole had decided that it would be a good idea to rip up a couple of plants, tear the branches off a few others (including one with 12 new, unripened habanero on it – I was really looking forward to sampling them) and rip up a couple of the stakes holding up the tomatoes.
As it is a private laneway, it could only have been one of the co-users or their guests – which pisses me off even more because I had planned to deliver everyone a parcel of the fresh goods once they had ripened.
After this, my charitable instincts have been somewhat dulled. Yes, the majority of the garden has survived but why would someone do such a thing in the first place?
It is nothing but vandalism and will sadly mean that I have to install some kind of security device – be it a fence or a camera – to prevent it from happening again.
