Front garden

Hello all. Quick bit of advice needed.
So I admit I am possibly the least green fingered person in the world hence the mess and overgrown jungle/eyesore which is my front garden.
So every summer the warm weather spurs/inspires me to tidy up my mess which admittedly once I get going and do not stop actually looks quite appeasing to the eye. Last summer a neighbor who lives directly across the street from me took an interest in me cleaning my garden and offered her services, which was very kind but honestly i would have preferred to have got on with it myself but suddenly felt to intimidated to say no, this neighbour continued to invite herself into my garden and eventually I summed up the courage to say thank you but no thank you by way of a thank you card and a little pressie. This year I haven't gone on the rampage with my garden instead just a snip here and there and a casual remark every now and again from my neighbour across the street who I tend to just offer a friendly smile and mostly try to ignore the remarks. So this evening as I was jumping out my car from work my neighbour came up to me in a huff and asked how far I had got with my garden? I smiled and said I would get to it when I would have time of from work at that I walked away and it would appear she walked of in a huff. I am a little miffed about her uncalled for attitude is their anything that I can do to calm what appears to be a brewing storm or am I possibly over thinking?

Thank you. I think initially I was just taken aback that said neighbour came and approached me in the first place.

Is your garden a bit of a mess and the neighbour's pristine?

I'd probably be bothered if my neighbour had a messy garden. However, she should keep it to herself as it's none of her business really.
