Free: Achillea Cerise Queen plants (Walkley, S6) Gifted These spread to fill a big pot so I've stuffed a load in a smaller pot. They spread horizontally so there are multiple plants all connected on horizontal roots.

Free: Small lamb's ear plants (Walkley, S6) Gifted I pulled these out a patch I have and put them in a small pot. They are good for ground cover and spread easily. Drought tolerant. This variety doesn't usually flower.

Free: Crocosmia/montbretia corms (Walkley, S6) Gifted Only a small bundle but once you have them they spread easily. These should be the orange ones but there could be the odd red one (lucifer) mixed in.

Free: Candle wax remnants (Walkley, S6) Withdrawn This is a bag of leftover wax from the bottom of tealight candles. Might be useful for crafting or making your own candles. Mostly white, but might be the odd other colour in there and there might be the odd bit of burnt wick.

Free: Crocosmia/montbretia corms (Walkley, S6) Gifted Just dug up. Only a small bundle but once you have them they spread easily. These should be the orange ones but there could be the odd red one (lucifer) mixed in.

Free: Hedgetrimmer - needs repairing (Walkley, S6) Gifted Titan TTB357GHT hedge trimmer. I cut through the cable but I'm sure someone will be able to repair it. It was working fine before I cut through it!

Free: Plastic bell bot, broken rim (Walkley, S6) Withdrawn Does anyone want this damaged plant pot before I throw it out? It is 28cm diameter, needs a wipe as has been in storage and a piece of the rim has cracked off as pictured. Looks fine if you keep the side with the broken rim at the back.

Free: Small strawberry plant (Walkley, S6) Gifted Rooted from a runner from a bigger plant last year. Small at the moment but will easily get bigger and put more runners out that you can make into new plants.

86d

Free: Small lamb's ear plant (Walkley, S6) Gifted This is a good low maintenance ground cover plant, with lovely soft leaves. It spreads easily and can be divided easily, so I just pulled a piece off and planted it up. I think this is a variety that doesn't flower because it never has.

86d

Free: Foxglove seeds (Walkley, S6) Gifted 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.

Free: Heat resistant mat for straightenrs (Walkley, S6) Gifted Small mat for resting straighteners on.

Free: 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.

Free: 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.

Free: 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.

Free: Bird feeder table (badly repaired) (Walkley, S6) Gifted 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.

Free: 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.
