Why I do not let Neighbors into my garden and I do not advise you
Who is not familiar with cases when neighbors are not averse to looking into your garden and even crave it? The reasons are terribly varied, but in any case - if peace and a good harvest are dear to you, I advise you not to let it in! And now I'll tell you why I made such an unfriendly decision.
It all started with the fact that the neighbors started repairs and its geography developed in such a way that it was easier for them to leave their site by making a small circle across mine. At first, this did not bother me - all the same, only weeds, dandelions, grew on that section of it!
But summer came and I decided to clear a site for cultural planting, which, by the way, prudently warned the neighbors to be more careful.
Imagine my indignant surprise when I found the beds with late radish and dill trampled down, as if a herd of wild boars were dancing on them!
Naturally, I expressed everything I thought about such an attitude towards someone else's property! To which they replied that they just walked in the dark and did not remember a little where I had arranged what. Then we made up. And for about a week everything was calm.
And then guests came to the neighbors. I literally had to go to town for a day.
Upon my return, I was greeted with laughter, noise, the smell of barbecue. A common situation for a summer residence, right? Positive! That's just what happened on my site. I was literally speechless for a minute when I saw that neighbors with guests not only with all the amenities settled down, but one of the strangers enthusiastically swarmed around the beds with strawberries, clearly busy with her eating.
I was so amazed that I didn't even scandal. Instead, she pulled aside the owners of the neighboring site and asked - what is happening?
And for some reason they burst into hysterics! I was shown that I was not a hospitable person. It turns out that they have repairs on the site, there is a lot of dry wood, so it is safe to fry kebabs only at my place. As for the strawberries... Do I feel sorry for a neighborly treat?
I must admit that I am not a greedy person, and if, in a truly neighborly manner, politely asked for garden strawberries, I would have treated them to a cup.
But such impudence, arrogance and greed broke some of our neighbors' friendship. I rudely said that they should all leave my site. The radish beds, by the way, were trampled down again.
And since then I have decided that you need to be careful with your neighbors. They need to be admitted to your site carefully - only if they are the best friends in the world! Otherwise, people may think that everything is allowed to them.
