The house I live in is getting repairs done on the porch, and got a new deck in the back.

The workers managed to crush every single plant in the yard that I care about and spent time on.

I'm depressed. Doing stuff is such a waste of time.

:( I feel your pain. Last year I painstakingly grew a bunch of morning glories (from seeds!) inside and transplanted them into planter boxes in the yard, only to have the landlord come by and yank them all out when he was "weeding." I was livid, and still blistering mad for weeks afterward. I hate that feeling, when your hard work is just ruined by assholes.

losing stuff grown from seed is seriously the WORST
all these were from seeds and I could buy some basils but it's not the same (plus I had all these cool varieties)

Find out where the workers live and offer to build a free deck only to kill their plants, or children/pets if they aren't into horticulture.

Don't give up Kara. You'll eventually have all the prowess of Poison Ivy when it comes to plants.

man, that blows. i was pretty bummed recently when i lost a whitefly war on the battleground of my basil. i would be super pissed if someone bigger than a bug came and stomped on my tender loving care!

yeah this makes me more understanding of the bugs somehow. I bet they're bummed too.

When I got Jake he destroyed all the cacti I had grown since high school (except for the one I still have which was too prickly) and a bamboo that Brandon had given me the first year we were in Chicago. I wanted to hate him but I couldn't because he was a cute kitten.

Still, the workmen are worse because, duh, assholes, that's someone's garden.

I'm so sorry. Losing plants that you've grown from seedlings or tiny shoots is the worst, especially when you live somewhere where the growing season consists of 4 months max. Hail and drought are bad enough, but human idiocy is the worst.

Are any of the plants salvageable? Some of the fastest growing, most resilient and fruitful plants I've dealt with got that way only after being nearly-dead due to some massive calamity.

I still have some potted ones I haven't put in the ground but they're all getting sorry-looking and I'm kind of sick of dealing with this yard which has like 2 square feet of sunlight to begin with.
although if anyone in bmore wants tomatoes come and get them.
I was sad about the basils but I think saddest about the peppers which were starting to look so promising.
