What would Sopeda do if their crops started going missing?
Honestly? She wouldn’t care very much, and is happy to share on two conditions.
1) The person/creature responsible is respectable about it and doesn’t destroy the plants/surrounding area.
If they do this, she will become LIVID and then very depressed. Eventually, when she gets over the initial depressive episode, she’ll erect a fence around the perimeter of the ‘edibles’ area of the gardens, and won’t allow visitors for a while.
2) The person/creature leaves enough for her.
For the majority of the year, she’s pretty much completely self-sufficient. She hates getting produce from a supermarket because, to her, the difference between her hand-grown/hand-picked stuff and mass-produced stuff is similar to the difference we might taste between fresh and canned vegetables. She grows plenty that if some of them start disappearing/don’t turn out/etc it’s not the end of the world.
Assuming these two conditions are met, she’d probably build a small stand where she’d put produce with a sign that says ‘Take Some!’
Along with the produce, there would be little hand-written booklets on how to use the seeds to grow their own, complete with little illustrations.
