Free: Ornamental grass (Stockbridge, Edinburgh EH3) Withdrawn One ornamental grass plant I was given for the garden - I've lost the label so I'm afraid I'm not sure what variety. It's been neglected in a pot for two years and survived so will likely do well in pretty much any moist soil! Should probably have been cut back in early spring (but I forgot), and I imagine you can divide it to get more plants.

Free: Bluetooth speaker *with issues (Stockbridge, Edinburgh EH3) Gifted Audioengine B2 Bluetooth mains-power speaker with audio jack. Solid, great sound and removable cover if you like to see your speakers vibrate. Important BUT! - there is an intermittent issue with the volume level: Sometimes it works fine! Sometimes it plays at a very, very low volume even with speaker and connected device volumes turned right up. This happens both on Bluetooth and via audio cable. I have no idea why! Sometimes unpairing and repairing the phone or laptop fixes it, sometimes switching it on and off fixes it - and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it just starts working properly again without me doing anything. If you're more patient than I am, or want to have a go at fixing it, this might be the speaker for you. Who knows - maybe moving it to a new flat will do the trick?! 31 x 14.5 x 11cm l-h-d but it needs a 23cm deep shelf (or new power connector with a right angle) due to the stuff on the back. Power cable and audio jack cable included.

Free: Crocosmia (montbretia) corms (Stockbridge, Edinburgh EH3) Gifted Some Crocosmia corms from a planter - slightly neglected so began to die back early but should be fine next year in the ground. Not sure what variety - red flowers, so perhaps lucifer.

Free: Natal lily houseplant (Stockbridge, Edinburgh EH3) Gifted Rehoming this natal lily (Clivia miniata). It was rescued from sale shelf in Dobbies in January and is now flowering out of season on a very short stem instead of a long stalk. This is robably because it was kept in a warm room over winter (advice is "from November to March, 'rest' clivia by keeping in a cool place (at a maximum temperature of 10°C) and watering sparingly"). Maybe you can give it the conditions it needs! NB the Internet says it's poisonous to cats. Collect in Stockbridge (I'm keeping the outer pot, sorry!)
