Garden Destroyed

From this side of the ocean I can't help you on the way with live plants or edibles, though I'm willing to send a care package with some rare wilds to get you on your way next season. It should get you some nice trading material for the following season. They won't be in time to grow this season, but you might be able to grow them over the winter. Just PM your address, no need to send anything in return. I'm sure that some pepper folk from your area can spare some peppers and/or tomatoes, considering you are a regular here.

Thanks !!! :) I hear ya brother!!!! Yeah the people here are the best hands down took a downer of a day an turned it into a happier one by far !!
 
Very sorry to hear of this and yes, please call the cops. They may not be able to do anything about it now, but it will be one more notch in the belt when they finally do catch whoever did it. 
 
I know I would be very angry, if I were in your shoes, too. However, as someone transplanted from Houston to Los Angeles to Cleveland (OH), I am looking at the fact that you live in SC as a blessing in this situation - you DO Have time to recover. Here we can't even plant out for another two months. Lots of us are willing to help out how we can, be it seeds, plants, pods, whatever, to help reclaim the season. PM me your addy and I will help how I can. But also try to calm down and put things in a different perspective - try to focus on the good that the members here are offering. All is not lost for long.
 
Keep it together Old Salty, having a drink after one year sober is gonna hurt you more than the loss of your garden.
If you got a lot of kids in your neighborhood chances are the good kids will know who the little bastards are and tell their parents and hopefully the truth will trickle back down to you.
 
Karma is a BITCH and I experienced both sides of her from choices I made in the past so I'm pretty sure those little fuckers are going to get theirs one way or another.
 
Tomato plants are pretty tough and even if you just have the root balls they will grow back pretty quick. Cucumbers not so much, they're kinda fragile.
 
Somebody did a midnight stroll through my garden one year that made me put traps out but I guess my ranting the next morning let anybody within a 2 mile radius know to stay out of my yard because nobody came back. Pretty simple and fairly harmless.
 
Dig a hole or holes the size of foil pans. Fill the pans up with bright orange or red dye. Add in some really stinky-assed organic fertilizer and a little vegetable oil to help it stick. Cover it with tin foil and put a light layer of soil or mulch or whatever to make it blend in. Just remember, you don't want to put anything harmful like nails laced in Pure Evil as it could end in legal repercussions you don't need.
 
Next time if it happens again, the stench should cause some kind of commotion that you might hear. And the bonus is, some kid is gonna have to explain his colored shoe at the very least to his parents. Guaranteed ass-whooping in my neighborhood.
 
In any case, keep strong and stay spicy.

One more thought - call your local news outlets, as they love to air stories like this. That might also lead to additional, local, help that you need right now - you need local people to volunteer to replant, for example.

One of my neighbor's has already lent a hand with clean up and his son's are coming over Monday to help again. Couple of local buddies came by and offered help and some supplies. Farmer friend has offered to replace cucumber plants and the trellis as well. Did call the cops though asked if they could finger print my plants.
He looked at me like I was on the whhiisskkeeyy!! Guess he didn't get it. :) no sense of humor!!
Thanks

And Thank You!! :) I'm not going back down that road but days like this it sure looks like the best answer!!
But the alcoholic aftermath is not pretty. Thanks for the heads up!! I'm chilling brada!! Mahalo :)
 
Way to go THP. That's the chile head spirit.


Whoa whoa whoa....
Salty. I know there is a difference between WANTING a drink and obsessing over one.

Don't let this molehill turn your life into a mountain my brother.

Don't drink. Speaking from 4.7 years clean here my bro. This shit ain't worth it.

The gift you-shoot all of us- get from being a member of this awesome community outweighs anything a drink or a drug offers you after you've made a decision to stay clean.

All right. Stepping down off my soapbox.

You guys are awesome.
