Maintaining a garden is harder than it looks. Despite how many DIY pages you stalk, how many gardening books you buy, and how many attempts you make at trying to cultivate a marginally edible $100 tomato, gardening requires a certain level of precision, green thumb capability, and a little bit of luck. So once your veggies are flourishing, there’s no turning back—your garden is here to stay.

Using a woman’s garden as an excuse to hide her inability to train her dog, the new neighborhood Karen started a feud she could never finish, making enemies with the wrong gardener on the street.
