Hellebore seedlings (Heaton Mersey SK4) I've just dug up some more hellebore seedlings. Some are very small some a little larger. These will need to be 'grown on ' so that some may produce flowers next spring or maybe you'll have to wait until the following year. These seedlings are bare root so will need to be collected asap. [They are in a bucket of water at the moment] I'll put them in bunches of 10. I have tried planting these seedlings in plant pots to grow to larger plants and whilst they have been ok I actually found the ones that I put straight into the ground more successful.

Hellebore seedlings (Heaton Mersey SK4) Gifted The pictures are of plants that I grew from seedlings 2 years ago. I am offering very small seedlings that have self-set from these plants. [I am NOT offering the plants in the pictures!] Unfortunately I cannot guarantee what colour the seedlings will grow as the seeds do not always come true to the parent plant. The seedlings will be bare root and I'll offer about 6 seedlings in each lot. [to allow for any that don't survive!] I'll dig them up when I have arranged collection times. A phone number is helpful but not essential. I also have 4 small hydrangea . These are in pots. I took the cuttings last year so the plants are very small. We have a red hydrangea and also the common blue/pink. Unfortunately I didn't mark the pots [thought I'd remember!!!] so I don't now know what colour they will grow to be. Regards

Bosch hedge cutter for spares or repair (Heaton Mersey SK4) Expired This is a battery operated hedge cutter. It comes complete with battery and charger, both of which appear to be working well. However the machine itself is no longer working. Maybe someone could use it for spares or possibly it could be mended by someone with the right knowledge. A phone number is helpful but not essential.

Unused stand for 210 litre barrel and downpipe fitting (Heaton Mersey SK4) Gifted These came with a barrel, but are not needed. The stand is in 3 pieces that fit together. The downspout fitting is just the connector as we used the hose that would take the water to the barrel. Take one or both. A phone number is helpful, but not essential. Regards

sit and ride toy (Heaton Mersey SK4) Gifted Small car for a young child. It has a 'gear lever' horn and starter key'! The seat opens to carry a load and the front flap lifts up. I think that it should have a stick that goes in the back to help to push it along, but we never used it and we no longer have it. Our grandchildren had fun with it but for some reason it's been sitting in our loft and its time it went to a new home. Hopefully someone can make use of it.

White/yellow waterlily (Heaton Mersey SK4) Gifted Pond clear out. A white waterlily with yellow centre. Already in a pond basket or you may want to remove it and divide it for more plants. A phone number is useful but not essential. Early collection would help as the plant is in the garage to avoid the cold weather! With thanks

Perennial Plants (Heaton Mersey SK4) Gifted Digging up some perennials to replace them with bushes! These are only ordinary plants, but it seems a shame to compost them if anyone can use them in your garden. The plants available at the moment are : phlox - white; peony - the dark red 'ordinary' one; astrantia - pink; yellow loosestrife; ladies mantle [yellow flower] I've already dug these up and put them in buckets of water, but ideally they need collection asap. A telephone number is helpful but not essential.

small walnut trees (Heaton Mersey SK4) Gifted I have 2 very small walnut trees - approx 6". These are courtesy of some forgetful squirrels that bury the walnuts in my daughter's garden. Obviously these are long-term planting, but it seems a shame to throw them away. A phone number is useful, but not essential. With thanks Delia

Hellibore plant (Heaton Mersey SK4) Gifted This is quite a large plant so you may be able to split it in two if you have space for them. It still has some flowers on, but they are faded as it has been flowering since January. It has cream coloured flowers [they look a bit green now!] with pink dots inside.
