Free: Garnier anti-frizz shampoo (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired Mostly full bottle of Garnier coconut-cocoa butter anti-frizz shampoo. A friend bought this for me but I have fine frizzy hair and this is too heavy. Smells nice.

43d

Free: Garden perennial/herbs (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted Feverfew, ornamental and medicinal herb, lobed leaves and daisy-like flowers. I'm not an herbalist, please look up medicinal properties for yourself Easy to grow, inclined to spread. I also have a couple of Rose of Sharon seedling trees (about a year old, should bloom next summer) and Lily of the Valley, dying back now but will bloom in mid-Spring. Let me know which (or all) you'd like.

122d

Free: SUNBEAM heated mattress cover, twin (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted Used but still working well, (received a new one at Xmas) just realized I stored it instead of giving it away then. Can be flattened out over a double-size bed for center heat.

Free: Tower fan needs minor work (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired This is a medium-height Holmes tower fan. It squeaks when it rotates but is ok in a stationary position. Probably needs to be taken apart and cleaned but I'd rather let it go to someone else who's handier than I am.

151d

Free: cardboard boxes, herb plants (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired I have 6-8 clean cardboard shipping boxes, medium size. Suitable for moving. Two long but narrow boxes that could be used for pictures or pillows. FEVERFEW plants, PEPPERMINT, and Goldenrod. (Goldenrod doesn't cause hayfever, and it makes a nice tall background plant against a fence. Feverfew is a bushy plant with small daisy-like flowers. All plants are folk-medicine remedies but I'm not an herbalist so best look that up for yourself.)

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

188d

Free: Baby aloe plant (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 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.

197d

Free: Moving? 4 boxes/packing paper (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 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.

Free: still have tomato seedlings (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 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.

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

Free: Daisy and Camomile plants (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted 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.

Free: ONE Aloe vera seedling (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Gifted 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.

Free: housplant seedlings (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 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.

Free: Furnace Filters 16x25x1 (off bridgeport rd near 85 ramp) Expired 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.
