Seriously, walk over and present her with a bill for the herbs and flowers she helped herself to. Explain that you thought she KNEW it was a pay-as-you pick garden arrangement?

LOL, all good stuff FT, all great ones.

I did plant the basil in the middle of the garden so she would have to
climb over the fence to get it. Thing of it is, we would have been more than
happy to share both the flowers and basil if she just asked.

Honestly though I forgive very easily, not worth my time.

If it was my fishin stuff it would be a different story, but with
light stuff I just leave it to Karma to handle.

People in my private space when they don't belong is a huge pet peeve of mine. Someone picking flowers from my yard or helping themselves to my garden would have me boiling over with anger.

Initially, I'd probably passive-aggressively throw all my grass clippings, leaves and trimmed bushes/limbs into their yard - while they're outside. "Oh you don't mind do you? It'll decompose in about the same amount of time as it'll take for my flowers that you helped yourself to to rebloom."

Ya, JD i hear ya. When I was young and full of pi$$ and vinegar like
you, I felt the same way.
While not a door mat, as I've grown older I've learned to walk placidly amongst those who are a vexation for minor offenses..

Betta that way as ya get a lot of laughs out of
their ignorance. Karma.

Piss and vinegar is but the tip of the iceberg.
