I've been really saddened to see what has happened to the community gardens now that herbs are worth a lot. It seems greed has taken over the spirit of sharing and community... something I had hoped would not happen in Glitch.
I used to go to the gardens, clear away any dirty plots and plant them. I'd then pick whatever was ready, shuck a few and replant those as well.
Now everyone is guarding 'their plots' and 'their herbs.'
May I suggest that if you want to have a private garden that you buy a house and do it there? Please support the community spirit of glitch, and share and support each other.
