philodendron (Hawthorne Hills in NE Seattle)
Gifted
Large philodendron. Needs untangling and tidying up. It is healthy, but has been relatively ignored for some years and the vines are tangled and need tidying, trimming, or to use as pieces to starts new plants. I removed the plant from its pot today, and the relatively small root ball is in a plastic bag with wet paper towels. The weather is still warm enough to arrange a no-contact pickup during the day, but it is probably too cool to leave it out after dark. Give me a window of time that you can come for it that is up to 4 hrs long and not before 9:30 AM, with the earliest time at least 4 hrs after you send your request so that I am sure to see that you made a request!

Tall Yarrow plants, yellow flowers (Hawthorne Hills in NE Seattle)

Plants with flower spikes will grow to 3-4 feet tall. I dug them up because I misjudged their size when I planted them. The plants were considerably taller than I expected, and do not fit the garden section that I had for them. For the right garden, they are good plants. Now is the time to transplant for next year's garden.
