Berried mistletoe cuttings for propagating (Caldecott OX14)
Withdrawn
I'm doing some more thinning out of the berried mistletoe clumps in my apple trees. I did offer cuttings earlier in the year, which were collected by several Freeglers. It is getting past the best time of year for propagating (by squeezing berries onto branches, especially apple trees) but does anyone else want to give this a go?

Free:

These date back to probably the 1950s, possibly earlier. None are complete, the 'best' one has just one piece missing with one broken piece. The other two have about 10 missing pieces. No boxes. Any interest to anybody before they go in the grey waste bin??

Mistletoe cuttings (Caldecott OX14)
Gifted
We are pruning our apple trees and will have to remove some of the large clumps of mistletoe, while leaving plenty for the thrushes. Would anyone like a handful of berried cuttings to see if they can propagate mistletoe growth on their own trees? Press the berries against branches, just like a bird wiping its beak. Best on apple trees, though some other kinds are OK. Update: Still plenty available on the tree that will need cutting out later.

Pampas grass fronds (Caldecott OX14)

I will soon start cutting back these fronds. As in previous years, I wonder if anyone would like a bunch of these ? (It is easiest for me to cut these when the Freegler is here.)

Pears (fallers) (Caldecott OX14)
Gifted
Bag of fallen pears on offer - about twice the quantity in the photo. These aren't as good this year as in previous years, possibly due to the very wet summer. There are a lot of marks on the skins, but these do not affect the pear flesh. And they are smaller than usual. Good flavour Conference variety. Collection from Friday.

Lavender (Caldecott OX14)
Gifted
Taking advantage of a dry period to prune back my lavender bush. Seems a shame to put these all in the brown bin. Does anyone want a bundle?

Unworn bra (Caldecott OX14)
Gifted
This is a Sloggi bra, size 34B. No underwiring. Having bought this type previously, I found the new design uncomfortable after trying on. I had cut off all the labels, not expecting the change. Best on someone with a narrow back.

Craghoppers walking shirt (women's) (Caldecott OX14)
Expired
Size 14. Cream, with orange 'embroidery' down a front edge. Claims to be 'insect repellent' material. I think the label says it is polyester, but the printing is too tiny for me to be sure. Has been worn, but remains in good condition.
