It has been a couple of days since Kalmar municipality informed that houses and buildings must be removed from the seven lottery areas in the municipality.

Late summer sunflowers stretch against a bright blue sky.

Tomatoes ripen and plants show off on the cultivation plots in Berga.

But here and there the silence is broken by hammer blows and the sound of an excavator.

It is clearing up the piles of demolition materials and rubbish that have been piled up, in protest against the decision that buildings must be demolished.

Rev in pure anger

Serif is one of the area's growers.

He does not like the big right with construction rubble, but explains that it got there as a result of anger.

- People were cursed and started tearing down right away, he says.

He did too.

Demolished the buildings he had on his farm.

Fired up the leftovers

He walks around the lot and points and tells about tomatoes he has cared for and roses that have bloomed.

And the barbecue place he demolished and the little cottage he had on his farm.

- I drove some to the recycling and some I set on fire, he says.

Serif is very sorry about the municipality's decision.

This summer's tomatoes were huge for Serif who grew them in Berga.

But he has demolished the buildings he had on his farm.

- I did not know what to do.

The municipality said that we were not allowed to keep them, he says.

Builds a wooden box

At the neighboring plot, Jonatan Lindberg is working on building a wooden box.

- I intend to have it if it is the case that I have to tear down my pergola that I have here.

I have to have somewhere to have my things.

And I thought I would build it so that it can serve as a table as well.

Because you can't have furniture here, he says.

He previously had a cultivation plot on Stallgränd.

- But they tore it.

So now I hope I can stay here, he says.
