Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi everyone, I have had a really bad weekend. I have just found out that the garden that I had been planning so energetically for month is not mine. I should briefly explain the situation: we just moved upstairs from my husband's uncle. As the house is planted on a steep slope, he has the backyard and we have an enclosed yard out front. Or rather, I thought we had the yard out front. I just assumed it went with the house and no one ever corrected me. I have said to my uncle-in-law many times how glad I was to have my very own garden for the first time in my life. I got all kinds of books out of the library and read as much as I could about gardening. I even took notes! Well, now I find that the frontyard is my uncle-in-law's. I'm upset because I am disappointed; because I wasted so much time reading and planning and dreaming about the garden; because I feel betrayed that my uncle-in-law let me prattle on about gardening for almost 4 months without mentioning that I wouldn't be doing any. Also I feel so sad that now I have nothing to look forward to. Thinking about the garden took my mind off my pain. Now what will I do? Anyway, for the people here who are also members of the physically challenged gardeners group, that's why I abruptly dropped out. I wanted to type an explanation before I left, but I was too upset. Hope your gardens are beautiful this summer - Di (Diane) in Vancouver, B.C., Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
