is it a good idea

:D oh my goodness :D

i have posted this else where on forum but wanted to make sure that experienced people saw it too :D
i had answered an advert on freecycle for an offer of 5kg plastic pots with lids, thinking i can use around home or more likely for gardening things (offer stated he had many but would share to all that asked)

any way he contacted me today to say that i could come and get them all as no one else had been in touch, his address a grand total of 12 houses away in the next street


we get chatting and he asked what i wanted to use so many pots for .I told him can never have to many when you do gardening ... we carried on chatting and he says do you not have an allotment, no waiting lists are very long around here :( says me

then he says would you like to teach someone how to garden

i quickly tell him i am just learning myself and tell him what i managed to grow last year,

he says that better than i did ON MY ALLOTMENT, waited 6 yrs for it and says he hasnt got a clue, (having just been to have a butchers i agree )

he wants me to take over his allotment while i am on the waiting list and teach him what to do and when

i think i may just say yes ... I nearly kissed him...... but DO YOU think this is a good or bad idea, he doesnt want me to pay the rent just teach him how and let him have a feed of the results

 

hats off to the guy .... one of the nicest chat lines I have ever heard

(Please take over my allotment and teach me what to do ) ....

I must remember that one!

 

normal service has resumed

:nono::nono:*dim* I dont like this at all

dont judge other people by your standards

 

Hi Kaz
if you were a sweaty builder 6 ft beer belly do you think he would of asked you

I have lost my trust with people so takes a while with me to sus out what what , if he harmless and NO hidden motives/agenda and you have the time whats the problem none , I am suprised if he has done so little they havnt kicked him off
To be a mentor you have to set out the ground rules first , whos ££ paying for what , if me I would just help out now and again I woudnt commit I think the problems may creep in , my mum shared allotment talk about moan and groan so I sugested they have half each now that worked a treat everyone happy and the path ran right through the middle and the Alotment comitte Committee also happy with the outcome if one left the other had the choice to take it over again with agreement from the Commitee

just winding you Kaz .... but saying that, it is a pretty good chat up line (for someone who is interested in gardening)

:D

 

some of the plot has got veg in says they are his neighbours as he had to many seedling they have been set in exact same format as next door plot is

he says he will pay the rent and rates, he wants to learn what to do, he says that he will do all dig and prep work as this is how he will learn what needs to be done it has small shed with tools (i would bring my own,)

he says he is happy to buy or freecylce for what is required

 

sounds like he is 'eager' to learn .... he also comes accross as 'easy to please, and easily pleased'

 

Hi Kaz

Just be careful , sorry....... I just cant be trusting off a person I have just met off Freecycle with a load of free pots , allotments can be lonely places at times see what the other ladies have to say on here , if he is 90 with one leg in the grave fine if not :pathead:

And I do know what you look like I had a nose on your blog

:o at you knowing what i look like

i understand what you are saying about just meeting him, we actually live 12 houses away, i have had stuff from him before via freecycle and since then we have always been polite when we bump into each other, this is the first time that we have chatted though, he knows i am married and very happy i told him this , even today when i went up there ( piddling down with rain ) there were a lot of folk up there and it is literally 150 yrds from my house ! i also said that i would do it as a family thing as in they help out !! he was fine with this

ok now i have just re read what i am posting and i am think oh heck phone the police :o

 

Ok , this is what we will do get Ziggy to call at his house ask for some pots , mention what a keen gardener he is and waits to be invited to join his allotment society only two members at the moment

I aint saying nothing else .......

but if he offered it to Ziggy that would mean he is better looking than me i would feel two timed
