hey guys! first of all... i appreicate i have this place to vent... ive been here before with you guys and its always helped.. :'( its been so long since i've been on here with a handful of stuff going on here in san diego since i've moved here almost 2 years ago. Im sad to report that i dont know if ill get to participate this ponding season as... i have lost EVERYTHING i have built up since i started my pondventure. its insane to think after 4 seasons of ponding and growing and building a business about it that its all gone. Im sure some of you can feel my pain when you check wintered over tubers and such to see if any survived, i lost it all pots, all 100s of plants, 100s of lilies, ponds, pumps, my fish, my potted garden flowers.. everything. I cant even believe it i would have never even fathomed it, my plants were my life, my addiction for heaven sakes!
how? your wondering? well, ive just moved into a new house, and with more accomandating a back yard for everything.. The previous roomate Greg of my last house decided to try and take over the lease after i gave our landlord our 30 day notice (Greg was friends w an ex boyfriend, whom wanted to stay after that relationship went to crap, i thought he was cool though hardly knowing him and i was helping him out of a bad situation) well he got the lease transferred over and i began to move my things out of the house, i even left my 1600$ deposit with the house so he wouldnt have to pay it!! once everything was out i just had backyard left to move.. the ponds, all the plants, windchimes bbq etc, (you know.. my sanctuary id sit at and dabble about for hours!) which i needed a trailer to haul everything. So we agreed for me to come the next thursday (thursdays was only time he could do it cuz that was his day off) Well i get trailer, call him to tell him im headed over, and he cancels, so we shoot for next thursday- (which i dont understand why i couldnt just go in the back yard, whole house was locked up and he had nothing out there) so following thursday i couldnt get ahold of a trailer in time before it got dark, and the next thursday same happend, he cancels when im on way with trailer, i went by anyway because i was down street and he'd both gates locked up. this goes on for about a month or so... always the run around, all the while i know my plants arent getting watered etc... when i suddenly get a mean sounding text message telling me that "i am draining your ponds and tossing stuff out its been here too long and i'm not a stoarge for your sh*t." when i was trying to get everything for weeks and hed keep canceling!!!?
i tried telling him that i was coming by right now, or if he was already tossing stuff then id be by to get it off the sidewalk, i tried tried reasoning with him explaining if he'd forgotten how many times hes canceled on me.. his response: "Well if this stuff was important to you it wouldnt have been here this long" like wth? i'm not going to break into "his" backyard, and how am i supposed to get ponds over a locked gate??? then i told him i'd come by for my personal meaning stuff like all windchimes i've collected over past 10 years, "im throwing everything away and selliing everything else, its been here, its technically my property now, dont even bother coming by" I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND??? i called the police they told me it was a civil matter and since the place was in his name and the lease was dated a month ago there isnt anything to be done unless something gets broken or someone becomes physically injured or threatened.
im so. absolutely. devistated. i know its just plants, but ive put so much into them, and i loved them so much, no one here understands how floored and shocked and hurt i am about this... many friends are just like oh that sucks... etc. giving me the funny eye for tearing up and crying about it. i thought i would just come to vent to you guys because yall have always been there for me and if anything you can relate to what i'm going through for sure :'( im so disheartened, everything went into those plants,
