Pot's are always useful and when someone sends you a text like this you think they have a few pots spare and I am sure people could make use of them either on the allotments or at home. With all these thoughts running through my head I replied.....
Seems like a reasonable response to me...don't you think?? I didn't expect what happened a couple of days later when Jez turned up though...
Turns out, the company Jez works for has just taken over a new container which was previously used for not very legal activities...hence all the pots!! Moral of this story...always ask exactly how many you may be talking about!!
At present they are still cluttering up my bins and drive way but hopefully tomorrow I will able to get sorted through them and get them moved up to the allotment. For now I'm thinking they can live in the greenhouse and the shed until I can see if I can offload some on other plot holders.
Something good did come out of it though, a villager who has recently moved back was taking a walk and when he saw all the pots thought maybe I would have an allotment so knocked on the door as he is interested in going on the waiting list. Nice gentleman and we had a nice chat about what we offer and the village in general...maybe these things do happen for a reason!!
Will be catching up with you all over the weekend and showing you a few bits I got for Christmas too!!

Can you just stack them on site with the message Help Yourself?
ReplyDeleteProbably will Sue...going to get sorting tomorrow weather permitting!!
DeleteOh my, you do have a lot there. They look a similar size to the ones I grow new potatoes in.
ReplyDeleteI think they may be a little smaller than that. Yes a LOT of pots to sort..but I'm sure we can find them homes!!
DeleteHope Trojon dident nip him.................
ReplyDeleteNo Trojan didn't 'nip' him Mr Wright-Jones...he simply gave him a loving welcome...lol!!!!
