Free: Succulent cuttings Expired I have a handful of large Pig's Ear succulent cuttings as well as three bulbine cuttings (the yellow flowering variety) if anyone is interested. We're in the Centerville area of Fremont, near Thornton Ave. Here's a description of the cuttings: --- Cotyedon orbiculata L. (Pig's ear). My variety has gr a y leaves that sometimes include red margins (depending on sun exposure/time of year). They grow bell-shaped orange-red flowers that dangle from stems above the leaves. The plants eventually get 2-3 feet high/wide -- although older ones may spread more in good conditions if you let them. Very drought tolerant once established. --- Bulbine frutescens. This is a great drought tolerant clump-forming succulent with long thin green leaves -- just stick it in the ground in full to part sun and give it some water this year to get it established. They eventually get about 1.5 ft high and over 2 feet wide and send up tall spikes of small yellow flowers several feet above the foliage from spring through fall. gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornamentals/bulbine/

Free: California Poppy seeds Gifted I have a small bag of California Poppy seeds, roughly 1/8 pound. That's a LOT of poppy seeds, but they've been sitting around for many years, so germination will likely be less than normal. The best time to broadcast/scatter poppy seeds is in the fall or early winter, but I think if you do it now (February) you'll still get some seedlings later this year, assuming we get some more rain in March and April. And, if needed, you'll have plenty of seeds to try again in the fall. If you're interested, let me know the day and approximate time you can come by. We're in the Centerville area of Fremont near Thornton Ave. Thanks, Andy

Free: Bulbs, rhizomes and cuttings Expired I have lots of the following items available: Cotyedon orbiculata L. (Pig's ear). Small cuttings. My variety has gr a y leaves that sometimes include red margins (depending on sun exposure/time of year). They grow bell-shaped orange-red flowers that dangle from stems above the leaves. The plants eventually get 2-3 feet high/wide -- although older ones may spread more in good conditions if you let them. Very drought tolerant once established. --- Bearded Iris (purple) – This variety of rhizome is “His Royal Highness” or very similar, p urple petals with yellow-splashed beards. They grow up to 3 ft tall and will gradually spread to 2 ft wide or more. They only seem to bloom in the spring for me, although some sources say they can bloom in the fall too. --- Amaryllis Belladonna (Naked Lady lilies) -- Green leaves in the late winter/spring, which then die back and are followed by 2-3 foot stalks and beautiful/fragrant pink flowers mid to late summer. My bulbs typically produce a fairly dark-to-mid pink flower, although a few have been pale pink to almost pure white. Plant them right away if possible. Because the bulbs have already leafed out heavily, they may not flower this year (and the leaves may die back prematurely), but they'll be fine once their roots get re-established. Another very drought tolerant plant. --- Please let me know the day and approximate time you can come by, and how many of each you want. We live in the Centerville area of Fremont, near Thornton Ave. Andy

Request: Self-standing yard waste bag Expired I'm looking for a light-weight self-standing yard waste bag for hauling clippings and weeds to-and-from the green bin. Something in the 16-to-32-gallon size would be ideal. I've attached an example photo, but they come in many variations. It seems like a lot of these are sold in packs of two or three, so maybe someone has an extra one to spare? Thanks, Andy

Free: Succulent cuttings Expired We have lots of Ghost Plant and Blue Chalksticks cuttings. This is the perfect time of year to stick these cuttings in the ground. If you're interested, let me know about how many you want and what day/approximate time you can come by. We're in the Centerville area of Fremont, near Thornton Ave. Andy --- * Graptopetalum (Ghost Plant). A low-growing succulent. Blue-green color when grown in part shade, with pinkish tones when grown in full sun. Stick these in the ground every 6 inches or so, and they’ll fill in the area very nicely within a year or two. Great in pots too. They’ll need periodic water until established but are then very drought hardy (although some extra water during the summer will have them looking better). I’m not sure of the exact variety, but they’re very similar to the ones pictured. Sprays of little yellow flowers during the spring. ( ) --- * Senecio Mandraliscae (Blue Chalksticks). This is a very striking succulent. A single cutting will eventually grow to a 3 ft wide (after several years), so be careful not to plant them too close to walkways. Another great plant that needs no supplemental water once established. ( )
