Honeyberry bush (Kennington OX1)
Does anyone want to try growing honeyberries? Supposed to be a lime-tolerant alternative to blueberries. This bush has grown well, flowers in spring which bees love, produces plenty of fruit, but it never ripens properly for me. Now it's just taking up space. Collect from Kennington, let me know when you could come and we can try to dig it up together. Alternatively if you want to take cuttings there will be plenty of material available!

Large 'Le Parfait' jar with a chip (Kennington OX1)
Withdrawn
Large 'Le Parfait' jar with a chip. I was using this to store sugar but last time I used it, just as I went to close the lid a piece spontaneously broke off!

Water containers (Kennington OX1)
Received
Does anyone have (or know a good source of) containers like this? I'm making an effort to water the nice new street trees the council planted a few months ago, but I only have one container and obviously it would be more efficient and environmentally friendly if I could do several in one trip. Just carrying open buckets of water around isn't great, especially with all the speed bumps! If I could get hold of some more containers like this, that previously contained something that wasn't particularly harmful, that would be great. Does anyone have any suggestions, maybe catering establishments, healthcare, science labs...?? Happy to collect at a time to suit. Many thanks!
