Hello gardeners!
Fellow plot holder made some fairly awkward and cringe-y comments the other day. I mentioned that this isn't fair - we all want to garden in peace, especially now we're in lockdown.
...completely unapologetic. '...if you can't take a joke I don't want anything to do with you', etc etc.
It's an old school allotment, mostly men in their >60s, mostly very humorous, helpful, nice.
Surprised that these two can't see it from my point of view and that they were so defensive...almost passive aggressive...because I asked them to back off. *Plot holder on the other side very pleasant, sympathetic re my being creeped on.
My plot is well ordered, neat and tidy - so this isn't a campaign to undermine my gardening. It's just sexism. Completely ruined an otherwise pleasant place. Whenever this guy turns up now he makes a big deal about being there, shouts out to all his pals, stares at me, etc.
Worth mentioning (?), before Covid he was very reasonable.
Any others experienced similar? Any tips?
I'm not going to give up my patch because I really love gardening there.
