RE: I have put aside 1 Hectare of land to grow food, to give away.

in #blog7 years ago

One summer a few years back, we put out a table with extra squash from the garden. A sign said free.

Someone put the squash on the ground and took the table.

Maybe they needed a table to eat on, I do not know. What you did was fantastic though, and I will gladly pay you for that table, right here, right now.

Another surplus squash tale...

There was an Indian gentleman that walked past my house nearly every day. I would say hi if I was outside. He never said hi back.

One afternoon when the surplus squash was on display, he stopped and asked if it was alright to partake. I told him he could have as much as he wanted. We talked a few minutes and I mentioned my tomatoes were not doing well. He offered to bring me tomatoes from his plants.

After that day he always returned a hello as he passed by.

Lovely story, and you got some tomatoes out of it.
