Question 1:
My neighbor up the street in the fancy house has 4 pomegranate trees that are ripe and falling to the ground. Would it be tacky for me to ask to buy some? I can't find any pomegranates in my local grocery stores this year. My teenage daughter and I love them a lot. But I don't want to embarrassment myself or make my neighbor feel awkward.
I don't think that would be tacky. I would offer to buy them; but if it was my tree; and I wasn't eating them all; I wouldn't hear of taking any money for them from a neighbor.
I once had a flourishing apple tree in my backyard. When my neighbor, from across the street and 3 doors down, sheepishly inquired if he could have some; I told him to come over anytime and take as many as he wanted. (I trusted him.) I was glad to see them go to good use.
