After staying hidden at that abandoned place for a long time.

Finally the first step to start building the garden for this season has been completed, and it has been so much trauma and financial loss for me. If you remember, this place was full of flowers last year, and there was a circular patch in the center, which I developed entirely on my own effort, putting lot of cocopit, organic fertilizers and thus spending a good amount of money. And the plants did not disappoint, it was very blissful last year, look at this post. But then some people got jealous and they destroyed the garden, but did not do anything - human greed is the most dangerous enemy to deal with.

They even did not bother to maintain the place, leaving it with full of grass and insects.

The sweet potato plant (if you have not seen before) was a clear evidence of how this place has been.

Since they did not clean the place after repeated reminders, I called in my man to take charge and help bring those pots back to their house. Our old gardener has been removed and a new person has been appointed, but based on what I have seen so far, the new gardener knows only to cut the plants 😘He does not know anything about developing garden and now I feel the old gardener was at least better than this guy.

It took almost the full day for my person to clean up the grass from this area alone, forget about the entire place.

He even kept them as proof of work to show me and was not willing to move the pots, saying he has already worked more than his quota. So I told him, I will join and at least let's move them to complete the first milestone.

I did not bring the curry leaves plant on purpose so that people will not notice them and take.

And this was all before Dad got admitted and I had lot of plans, but then everything changed the plan. I had plans to call that person again and recycle the pots and plant those Chrysanthemum saplings the next Sunday, but something else was on cards - we plan and God laughs. They have moved the entire CCTV set up from the security area and kept them in a locked place, disconnecting my CCTV and I will have to again spend some time and money, chase those people - but at least I am glad to get started. I had put up lot of Chrysanthemum saplings for the society but they became a burden to me only, more to come on that.....

And I did pay my man a little extra - hard work with honesty should always be rewarded more.
