Dear Editor,
My wife and I have had a community garden at Richmond High for the last five years, but this year will be our last. Every year we have had plants stolen from our garden, but this year it is an epidemic. We have had garlic pulled out of the ground before it is even close to being ready. Any one who knows anything about gardening would know that garlic is not ready until the end of July.
We have also had many kale plants ripped right out and then the hole filled in by someone hoping we would not notice it was gone.
We are totally frustrated that the fruits of our labour are going to waste. Whoever is doing this, I hope your conscience eventually gets the best of you. Just because it is a community garden it does not give you the right to steal whatever you like.
D. Drake
