Potting up some tomato plants for Mr M

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Tower Hamlets.

I arrived to find Mr M enjoying Wimbledon and waiting patiently with three very healthy looking tomato plants. Three pots were painstakingly chosen by me and then prepared with fertiliser, feed, soil and then the plants carefully added to them. I finished by making a cup of tea for Mr M who seems quite lonely and was happy to have me watch a spot of tennis with him. He’s very knowledgeable about the sport and seems to have hearing trouble so looking at him direct and speaking clearly is really key. I enjoyed my time helping him and think he’d make a good coach.
