hollyhock, sedum, jade, mint + (Dubuque)
*An old-fashioned hollyhock. Pink. Established in pot for three weeks. "Sedum 'Autumn Joy' . . . . is a popular, low-maintenance perennial prized for its late-summer blooms that turn from light pink to copper-red by autumn. Growing 1–2 feet tall and wide, it thrives in full sun and well-drained, lean soil, making it ideal for borders and attracting butterflies." (AI overview). The three I'm giving away have appreciated sun and water--are thriving nicely with light and room to grow and flourish. *Jades "low-maintenance succulents, thrive in bright light and well-drained soil, perfect for indoor containers." Happy in yard, porch or patio during Iowa summer, winters over well inside.

Metal Fence Posts metal Fencing (S Madison)
I completely screwed myself by biting off more than I can chew again! I got 4 plots at the community garden across the street at the beginning of May and not only did I have to pay double what I expected, I now need double the fencing. I brought 2 rolls at first, went back had a roll roll off before I got to the checkout, so still need another 25 ft to finish the fencing and another 30+ft for trellises. I have garden stakes for posts and well, not working well. I will take any pieces of fencing and metal posts. I had all this, really nice too but had to flee a relationship and I chose the animals over garden stuff and some of my plants even. I now have to finish digging the plots, its bad. I broke my pelvis 7x, lower back 3x arm, clavicle, so, I am disabled and unlike my last place, i cant go around digging out old posts! I really appreciate anyone. I will give you any produce, when its ready!
