Dahlia tubers (Hockley Port B18)
Several dahlia tubers. All are for the red and white flower pom type (on the same plant, and within the same flower). After looking online I think it is called York & Lancaster. They have been out of the ground a few weeks but as you can see are eager to get growing. Perfect time for planting now for blooms later this year. They need a fair bit of space to grow and multiply well so enough here for a couple of people.

Toolbox (Hockley Port B18)
Gifted
Blue metal toolbox with black carrying handle. Has 3 tiers that open out so you can access all levels, and some of them have subdivisions for smaller items. It also two loops on the top where a lock could be fitted. Comes with a few bits and bobs included. Little bit of surface rust here and there but it all adds to the patina of an item that's been around for a while. Plenty of working life left in it.

Dahlia tubers (Hockley Port B18)
Gifted
Flower colour for this dahlia is red and white. Plants have multiplied well and need more room so I've lifted these tubers while they are dormant. They just need planting out and are ready to grow. Height approx 4 foot. Lots here to share (I have more) if you only want one that's fine, just let me know.

Snake plant (Hockley Port B18)
Gifted
This is one of the smaller snake plants. It never gets really tall but grows well. As you can see in the photos, the markings are quite varied, and makes for an interesting plant. The original plant was only in a medium sized pot and had completely filled it. I divided this one plant, and replanted several offshoots for myself and been left with approximately another dozen pieces that now need a new home - they are not potted up (bucket not included). No obligation to have all of it, if you only want to have 3 or 4 pieces for a small pot that's fine.

Seedlings (Hockley Port B18)
Gifted
Mixture of self sown seedlings, just been dug out today (19th). Most are small at the moment, but some of these grow quite large (6 foot). Verbascum, foxglove, hollyhock, broom. Also some lemon balm, and forget-me-not. Please do research if you are unfamiliar. Freeglers will need to bring their own container(s) as seedlings are not potted, just watered to keep them going - a plastic choccy box/tub would be ideal for transporting. There are a lot here so I aim to share them out. Perfect time of year for planting out.

Chilli pepper plant (Hockley Port B18)
Expired
Chilli pepper plant, grown this year from seed. It's too cold outside for these plants now and I don't have enough room to overwinter. NB overwintering peppers means cutting them back and keeping them dormant. They need a cool room for this, as normal indoor heated rooms are too warm, but they do need light. An unheated greenhouse will be too cold.

Fuchsia cuttings - unrooted (Hockley Port B18)
Gifted
Cuttings of hardy perennial fuchsia. These don't have the massive, fancy blooms of some varieties but the plants are covered all summer in the smaller, more delicate looking flowers that bees prefer. Seemed a shame to bin these cuttings. Hope someone can use them. They usually root readily in water on a windowsill.
