Free: red crocosmia bulbs (corms) (Ballard) These are the tall red crocosmia (Lucifer, I think). I dug up a bunch of corms this fall, and they'd appreciate being planted before winter sets in. They like lots of sun, some water, and something to help them stand upright (trellis, shrubbery, string ...). About 5 feet tall, bloom in late summer. Please reply with how many crocosmia corms you'd like and a pickup time frame at least half a day in the future. A window of 2-3 hours is great. No-contact porch pickup.

Free: Vacuum with broken handle (Maple Leaf) You know that old beater Corolla that you wish would just die already so you can justify getting a new car? That's this vacuum. I think it's going on 20 years now, multiple belt changes and beater detanglings, some duct tape to fix bits of cheap plastic housing, and the thing still works great. Ugh. The handle finally broke off. I've been using it without a handle and thinking about how to carve up a 2x4 to replace it. Then I sliced my hand open on the broken plastic and came into a new old vacuum at the same time. Ha! I'm currently hunting down a screwdriver to remove the sharp bit, and I'll empty the canister and wipe it down. I may be able to find some of the attachments and a replacement filter, but no guarantees. Update: plastic removed and new filter found USED WITH CATS IN HOUSE
