This person already didn't love gardening, but then their neighbors started stealing from them… That just made the situation even worse.
A lot of folks find gardening to be a peaceful way to connect with nature. The pros are that you get to watch living things grow, and if you're lucky, you'll get to eat the literal fruits of your labor. Even if all you grow is a handful of string beans or a few teensy tiny tomatoes, they taste better because you're the veggies' parent. You raised it from seed to sandwich topping, the full veggie life cycle. The cons of gardening are that you have to touch dirt and mulch, a caveat that some of us just can't get past. Yucky.
This person is not actually a gardener. Their property was already equipped with a lovely lawn and a garden bursting with herbs and vegetables. However, it wasn't long before this person realized their neighbors were helping themselves to the herbs and veggies. Helpful Redditors spent quite a lot of time telling the original poster (OP) how they could get back at these thieving neighbors. I bet these ladies could've had all the herbs and veggies their hearts desired, if only they'd decided to talk to their neighbor instead of pilfering.
