So a friend of mine (hi Tim!) alerted me to the following New York Times article:

It is definitely frustrating having your hard-earned vegetables snipped away by thieves (dismissive neighbor, you are wrong!). I too have considered putting up a sign but as our garden is small and relatively new (2nd year) I don't want to take the aggressive route just yet.
A wrist brace due to a spot of carpel tunnel coming on is keeping me away from doing much weeding so it's still my mother dutifully watering the not-so-little ones on a daily basis.
Check out the bounty of perilla the tiny plot continues to yield:

We counted 160! At least the perilla are left alone. But that's because no one around here knows what they are or how to cook them. That's just fine by me.
