Barter

I'm sure my neighbours won't see this post (if anyone knows them, don't grass me up!) so I can come clean about the real reason I gave them a Kohl Rabi each, that I had grown, last night.

It was to subtly induce them into a barter scheme.

They all have plentiful vegetable plots with lots of produce and variety. Much more than I have in my little plot. And, what's more, there are only two of them in each house (in David's case only one!) They surely don't need all those vegetables!

I thought that by getting the first gift in, a very tasty and unusual vegetable that I know none of them grow, it might induce them into exchanging some of their produce with me, later in the year.

It doesn't make me a bad idiot, does it?

Watch this space for details regarding the success, or otherwise, of this strategy!
