Foxglove seeds (Walkley, S6)
I have loads of foxglove seeds I collected from my plants last year, which I've spread out into a few envelopes to give away. There are some bits of seed pod etc in there too but that won't do any harm. You can just sprinkle them where you want them outside. They will grow a plant in the first year, flower in the second year then die but only after they've created a whole load more seeds. They seed themselves across the garden readily.

Crocosmia/Monbretia corms (Walkley, S6)
Gifted
Just dug up. These are the orange type of crocosmia though I do have some larger crocosmia lucifer (red) nearby so they could be mixed in. These multiply easily. I don't know if this is the right time to move them but I'm pretty sure they'd survive the apocalypse so they'll be ok.

Achillea cerise queen plants (Walkley, S6)
Gifted
These are a type of yarrow with tiny pink flowers and apparently spread quite easily through horizontal roots. These ones are from a a large pot that they've spread into. Haven't flowered yet, as they were probably too busy spreading. Please say when you can collect.

Foxgloves (Walkley, S6)
Gifted
These have seeded themselves in my gravel and I've potted two of them up. They seem to have survived though I only did it a couple of days ago. I have more where that came from - if you bring a pot and compost I can pull the others out for you. Not sure if they will survive given they are already established.

Bird feeder table (badly repaired) (Walkley, S6)

This fell over in the wind and snapped in half do I screwed some sticks onto it to keep it together as shown in the pictures.

Foxglove seedlings and Lamb's Ears (Walkley, S6)
Gifted
I potted these up a while back and left it too long to post so they're not looking that good but the foxgloves should flower next year if planted on. The Lamb's Ears will grow like mad once planted. Must be collected on Sunday. Please say which you want. I also have a patch of self seeded foxgloves in my gravel (last picture). If you bring a pot and soil for them, we can pull them out.

Rock soapwort/Tumbling Ted plant (Walkley, S6)
Gifted
This is a trailing plant that has small pink flowers. It works best in stone walls and rockeries. I've had it in a pot because it's not the plant it was labelled as when I bought it! Pot not included so you'll need to be ready to plant it straight away. Ideally to go on Sunday.

Foxglove and lamb's ear seedlings (Walkley, S6)
Gifted
Moved these into pots last year after they self seeded in my garden and left them in any old soil. Some dead leaves in there and the odd weed and probably some woodlice, but they're growing. 2 x pots of foxglove, 1 x pot with lamb's ears and foxgloves. Please say when you can collect.
