Request: Book repair tape (North Greenwood) 45d - Anyone have a partial roll of book repair tape that needs a new home, or are just willing to part with about 2 feet of it? I have an old cookbook with the cover falling off. I'd like to repair it with the right kind of tape to keep it around as long as possible. Free: Rooted cuttings for large rosemary (North Greenwood) Gifted 80d - Once upon a time there was a large rosemary plant. Its home was too small and shady, so it set out to seek its fortune. Whenever one of its branches lay on even a thin layer of organic matter, it sent out roots. But these new roots soon encountered impermeable concrete! It was thwarted and could go no further. I have several of these rooted branches available for pick-up. This rosemary gets LARGE and wants all the sun you can give it. It's a great plant, we just put it in the wrong place. Free: Unopened bath bomb set (North Greenwood) Expired 125d - Set of 9 assorted bath bombs (like fizzy balls of bubble-bath, if you're unfamiliar). The bath bombs are individually wrapped within the box, so you could break up the set for individual recipients if so inclined. Please take the whole set though. The upper right corner of the box is slightly squished--see picture. If you're interested, please tell me the day(s) you would come by plus whether you prefer morning/afternoon/evening so I can make sure these don't spend too long outdoors.

Request: Bottom part of Oster hand blender (North Greenwood) Expired 189d - I'm looking for the the detachable "stick" part of an Oster immersion blender/stick blender/hand blender. The motor part of mine is fine but I need to replace the stick with the blade. I haven't been able to find it through a replacement company so I'm hoping someone might have one I could salvage. Free: Boysenberry plant (North Greenwood) Gifted 199d - Rooted boysenberry starts. Produces large flavorful berries on nearly thornless canes. Local bumblebees love the flowers. Fruits on second-year canes; these probably won't be ready to produce until the year after next. Needs to be tethered onto supports or it will sprawl. It probably needs at least 15 feet of sunny fence/trellis space. It does not spread vigorously, but if there is a cane on the ground with leaves or mulch over it, it will root. Free: 7 half-liter plastic bulk bottles (North Greenwood) Expired 205d - 7 plastic bottles of the sort used for buying bulk liquids, such as bulk soy sauce at the Co-op. All are half-liter (about 2 cups). All are clean and have lids. Free: 2 Large plastic canisters (North Greenwood) Expired 206d - Fairly large plastic canisters (protein powder size if that helps). Take one or both.

Free: Jameco...vent? thing? (North Greenwood) Expired 206d - It's from Jameco, it's about 8.5" across, and it's plastic. I'm not sure what it's for (it was left by the previous owners) and looking at the Jameco website didn't narrow it down. It looks very specific. If you have a way to use it, it's yours! If you don't need it but know what it is, that would help me write a better description so it can get to someone who can us it.

Free: Sturdy roasting pan w/rack (North Greenwood) Expired 206d - Sturdy roasting/broiling/oven-grilling pan and rack combo. The rack fits securely in the top with plenty of room underneath to catch drips. Both have some staining but are in good condition. A little larger than 12"x12", but probably not turkey-sized.

Free: Sturdy glass panels in frames (North Greenwood) Expired 206d - Putting together a greenhouse or cold frame for your plants? Perhaps you can use these. 2 glass shower doors in lightweight metal (aluminum?) frames, 32 3/4 inches wide by 55 inches high. Rollers at the tops. The seals for the bottom edges are damaged and no longer being manufactured so they probably don't have a future as shower doors, but I'm hoping someone clever might have a use for panes of sturdy slightly-opaqued glass in frames.

Request: Figs (North Greenwood) Expired 274d - Too many ripe figs? Please let me pick any excess! I can bring my own ladder if one is needed. Request: Flat pieces of broken concrete (North Greenwood) Expired 283d - Looking for fairly flat chunks of broken concrete to use as stepping stones in a small yard. Free: Red-flowering currant bush (North Greenwood) Gifted 331d - In pruning back our red-flowering currant we found that a low-growing limb had rooted. We unearthed it and it's ready for a new home ASAP.

Free: Lots of little pots and jade plants (North Greenwood) Expired 354d - Looking for a Mothers' Day project for your troop, club, or class? This may work: I have 42 glazed terracotta la fermiere pots and a bunch of rooted jade plant starts--possibly not enough for all 42 though. 36 of the pots are the standard blue; 7 are dusty rose and white. Request: Stick vacuum or "dustbuster" (North Greenwood) Received 360d - Looking for a lightweight stick vacuum or hand-held "dustbuster" style vacuum for vacuuming stairs. It can be a rechargeable or corded so long as it is light and maneuverable. Free: Cat litter for garage or traction (North Greenwood) Expired 361d - Several pounds of clay cat litter for non-cat use. I used it to reduce the perfume smell from a secondhand purchase. It doesn't seem perfumey to me, but cats can be picky. Aside from that, it's clean. From a pet-free house even! I can include the big floral popcorn tin it's currently in or bag it up for you. Free: 2 cans black soybeans (North Greenwood) Expired 1y - 2 15-ounce cans organic black soybeans. They're fine; I just purchased the wrong thing. Free: Sparkling dove ornament (North Greenwood) Expired 1y - Dove ornament in pearlized white plastic with holographic glitter on wings and tail. about 3.5 inches from beak to tail. Silvery loop for hanging.

Free: Painted goose egg (North Greenwood) Expired 1y - Emptied goose-egg shell, painted with grass and yellow butterflies. about 3 inches long.

Free: Porcelain egg box with candle (North Greenwood) Expired 1y - White porcelain egg-shaped box painted with pink and yellow roses, filled with a candle. About 2.5 inches long.

Free: Grey ceramic bunny (North Greenwood) Expired 1y - Delicate grey ceramic bunny, about 4 inches long.

Free: Iris rhizomes (North Greenwood) Gifted 1y - Clump of iris rhizomes; currently has 6 shoots coming up. I don't remember whether this batch is purple or light blue. They're already dug, so it would be good for them to be picked up and planted soon. Free: Four glass jugs, various sizes (North Greenwood) Expired 1y - Four glass jugs: Three that are probably half-gallon or 2-liter: 1 with cap, 1 is a non-returnable Rachel's Ginger Beer jug. One that is larger and has a cap. It doesn't seem large enough to be 2 gallon, but volume is a tricky thing to gauge. Free: Blue and tan wool cloche hat (North Greenwood) Gifted 1y - Turquoise blue wool felt hat with tan ribbon. Never worn. Brand is Peter Grimm.

Free: Poster for kids book Black Cat (North Greenwood) Expired 1y - Poster for the children's book Black Cat by Christopher Meyers

Free: 3-speed Bicycle, needs repair (North Greenwood) Gifted 1y - 3-speed Murray Richland Touring bicycle. Cute bike but needs some repair (see pictures). The gear shifter is broken so it no longer stays in gear. It also has some rust patches that need cleaning off. Could use a general tune-up too after sitting a few years.

Free: Old-looking yokes for horses? oxen? (North Greenwood) Gifted 1y - Old-looking yokes for some kind of farm animal. I don't know whether they're actually antique or just modern styled to look old. Take one or both. If you just want one, let me know which one.
