Verbascum/mullein plants (Hatfield AL10)
Great mullein aka verbascum thapsus is a large native biennial producing strong, long lasting impressive spikes of yellow flowers in the summer, beloved of insects as you can see. It also has velvety soft downy leaves. Self seeds, but not a problem. The flower spike is very strong and doesn't need staking. Wants full sun and sharp draining stony ground, but I have wet sticky clay and it does fine. These photos in flower are from previous years - what you would get is healthy young plants growing as rosettes - as in the last photo, which is from today. They should make a flower spike this summer. I have at least 4 youngish plants to be given away and I will count if there is demand. I believe they transplant well at this time of year. Ideally they will be dug from the ground on the day you collect - by arrangement - they're not in pots.

Foxglove plants (Hatfield AL10)
Digitalis purpurea. I love foxgloves, but I've planted as many as I can find space for and some have seeded themselves in unwanted places and will need to go. I also have some less strong foxgloves in pots - ask for details if you're more interested in those. I believe I also have a huge packet of home-collected see too if you'd like to try that way. Established strong rosettes that should push up a strong flower stem this summer, flower and then set masses of seed. The pictures in flower are from previous year. The picture showing only leaves is now. Very good for wildlife - you will always find bumble bees disappearing up the trumpets. Strong upright stems need no support and can reach 8ft in ideal conditions. Not fussy about soil type (they're fine on my heavy clay) and cope with a bit of shade or sun. Once established they are fine in dry soil and will not need watering.

Small houseplant tools (Hatfield AL10)
Probably meant for doing fiddly houseplant thing like tidying inside a terrarium or top dressing pots with grit - salvaged from my Gran's house. You could probably also use them for potting on seedlings. Mostly stainless steel, but one double ended one has a bamboo handle. The "trowel" end has come out because the bamboo is slightly cracked. I believe it could easily be fixed by putting PVA wood glue on the shaft and clamping tightly until it's dry. I will do that for you if it's a deal breaker. All washed in warm soapy water for your convenience. I assume I would give all four to one person, but will consider splitting between two if there is enough demand.

Gardener's plastic trug (Hatfield AL10)
Convenient for picking fruit/veg/cut flowers or carrying around tools. Plastic, so easy to keep clean if it gets wet/muddy. I washed it in warm soapy water for your convenience. Quite old and has a slight crack, but it doesn't really make any difference to how you'd use it.

Anglecare Nappy Bin (Ware SG12)
Hygienic, odour free way of disposing nappies. Stands 68.5cm high. It’s been use but I would describe it as being in ‘as new’ condition. According to John Lewis: It's so easy to use - just open the lid, push the nappy through the clamp and the nappies fall conveniently into the antibacterial and multi-layered film bag. To empty the bag, simply remove it like a normal bin liner. In addition, the film used in the refill cassettes is economical and hygienic and has been proven to keep bad odours and germs inside the nappy bin. The bin holds up to 57 (size 1) nappies. As the nappies are not twisted individually, this product uses up to four times less plastic than other products on the market. The childproof cutting mechanism is safely located inside the nappy bin. Although the photo shows a refill pack it is the wrong type. This bin requires an octagonal pack but the one I have is circular. Refill packs are available from John Lewis and Amazon. And other retailers too I imagine.

window squeegee rubber wiper (Hoddesdon EN11)
Hi, please could you get in touch if you have a window wiper. The fancy Karcher wiper is leaving streaks after wiping. A manual one with intact rubber blade might be better. Collections around E. Hoddesdon, Hertford, Ware and Puckeridge can be relatively quick. Other locations could be arranged whenever we next visit the area which may be few weeks/months away. Thank you.
