Medium size cardboard boxes (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 15d - Moving? We have half a dozen medium-size boxes (approx 18x24) clean cardboard.

Baby aloe plant (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 25d - Just what it says - Mama plant keeps pupping. These are big enough to go to new homes though it will be at least 6 months before they're big enough to use. Aloe sap is excellent first-aid for burns and the plant is a handsome succulent. If post is up, rootling still available.

Moving? 4 boxes/packing paper (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 26d - These are clean, medium-size boxes used to ship prescription pet food. Paper is also clean, white, and could be flattened out for a child who likes to draw loooong pictures. Or for packing. Also have a couple of boxes from cat litter (CLEAN CARDBOARD, not "litter boxes" 0 that are a good size for books.

misc. furniture on street (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 27d - 66 Lang Crescent, wingback chair, has been in rain but looks decent #1 Horizon (off Lang) lawn chair in need of seat repair #10 Horizon, small resin storage cabinet or nightstand

baby/toddler stroller (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 208d - 59 LANG CRESCENT (NOT my house) Nice toddler stroller with basket and awning, looks in good shap. Our trash pickup is Friday morning, it's Tuesday now.

toddler play table CURBSIDE (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted 209d - CURBSIDE 33 LANG CRESCENT. Similar to this. Used, in good shape.

Curbside, 2-shelf storage unit (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 298d - Small unit used to store oil and antifreeze in garage (has petrochem smell) at curbside, 58 Lang Crescent. Trash pickup is Friday. Useful for the same purpose in a garage or shed, not safe to have in the house.

curbside - baby stroller (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 349d - Marked free: Blue baby stroller, looks in good shape (neighbor's house, I don't know more about it.) Trash pickup is Friday morning, posting this on Monday.

still have tomato seedlings (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 357d - It's that time of year again, I've got several varieties that germinated more than I have room for--got started late this year so they are not big but they'll keep going to a hard frost. The little "sweetie" cherry tomato seedlings tend to grow very quickly once they get their roots in the ground or a big pot. Cherokee Purple, Crimson Sprinter (small but prolific), Iron Lady, (blight resistant) and one or two mystery seedlings that literally sprouted between the cracks. Everything but Iron Lady is heirloom, IL is a hybrid that doesn't immediately die with late-season blight. I don't have the same number of all plants so some may run out quicker, not doing 'fair offer' because I'd like to get these off the porch and into good homes but if you see this post, there are still plants available. Remember, tomatoes prefer full sun and need about a foot of root space -- a 5-gallon pot will do, and they must have drainage. Planting with a good scoop of composted manure and biweekly feeding with manure 'tea' will give you more tomatoes.

Misc glassware etc (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 1y - Put out at curb, 23 Lang Crescent: box of miscellaneous glassware and black metal candlesticks. Next trash pickup, Friday June 2

Daisy and Camomile plants (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted 1y - Some volunteers from the garden showed up where I don't want them. Great low-maintenance (daisies) and a useful herb. Also a few pink bleeding-heart plants (perennials). A few lily of the valley, too, which will spread. Lovely spring scent but the plant is toxic, so probably not great if you have small children. Please state what you'd like and when you can pick up.

ONE Aloe vera seedling (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted 1y - One of the medium-size plants from the photo, it's doing well in its own container and will probably be okay for a few months in its transplant pot (can be set inside something prettier, of course) Likes BRIGHT sunlight and temperatures over 50.

housplant seedlings (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 1y - My aloe vera and jade plants have been pupping and I need the space for seed-starter trays. These are INDOOR PLANTS. They can be set outside in summer but have to be indoors if the temp's below about 10C. They're tiny and it will be at least 6 months (maybe more) before you can use an aloe cutting for 1st aid on burns. They like FULL SUN and moderate watering--easy care, I give 'em a dose of fish emulsion in spring and fall and that's it. They'll need repotting in a month or two. Please let me know when you can pick up; depending on the weather I might need to bring 'em out when you arrive. Fair offer for 48 hours but I can hold till the weekend. If there are multiple responses I'll give them out individually so the most folks get a plant.

Furnace Filters 16x25x1 (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 1y - The furnace died and the replacement uses a different size. Also useful to make a `Corsi-Rosenthal box` home air-filter using a box fan if you have someone in the house who`s covid-positive. Fair-offer until Saturday noon, December 10. ALREADY HAVE MORE REQUESTS THAN FILTERS. If you *want* rather than *need* one, please consider withdrawing your request. Thanks.

Household items yard sale leftovers (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 1y - Out at the curb, 25 Lang Crescent. Toiletries, containers, some art items, left out after neighbors did their sale this morning. posted at about 5 pm Saturday Sept 24. No "fair offer" because we're expecting rain tonight.

Set of mugs - new (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted 1y - These are standard ceramic mugs that came with a set of Corelle dishes (which we needed) but the last thing we need is more mugs. The set is a little more grey-violet than shows in this photo. There are 8 of them, brand new, and you can have 2, 4, or all 8 of them. It's Monday evening and we'd like these gone but I will do a 3-day 'fair offer' until Thursday noon (Sept 8).

Functional Firepot (but not pretty) (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted 1y - Standard 3-legged steel firepot; loaned to 'friends' who left it out in the rain. Still solid, just a little 'distressed.' About half a meter across. grill and screen top included.

Small pieces of sheetrock (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 1y - less than 1 meter square, probably useful for patching or small project. Set outside 28 Lang Crescent. Trash pickup is Friday morning, July 8 Lang runs between Lancaster and Bridgeport Road.

TOY ukelele (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted 1y - I emphasize TOY because this is not a working instrument-bridge holds the strings too far off the frets. A handyperson might be able to fix this. Otherwise, a toy for a kid who likes to strum but if you have a child with real interest this would be frustrating. Will do 'fair offer' for 5 days, until this coming Friday.

All open-pollinated heirlooms. Let me know what sort of pepper you'd like when responding (sweet or hot, or both), a cayenne is NOT the same as a sweet Italian "Red Horn."
