Antique barrel-type tub - needs reassembly (New Marston OX3)
Gifted
This antique wooden tub of barrel-type construction was used in the early 1940s as a baby bath. All the pieces are available but a small bit has broken off and is missing from the bottom right (as seen in photo) of the base. Base measurements at widest points: 42cm x 31cm. Depth 19cm.

Hosta plants (New Marston OX3)
Gifted
The two hosta plants shown in the photo badly need splitting and repotting. At least three people can have a good sized chunk of them. They spread rapidly in pots, which certainly need to measure at least 28 cm diameter at the top. The ones shown in the photo (pots are not included with the plants) are 25 cm high but I would recommend using ones that are less high but with the same 28 cm diameter, as that makes it easier to remove the plants for repotting. They've been kept in an unheated greenhouse over the winter. I don't think they would survive a very cold winter without some covering. PLEASE NOTE: these plants are not suitable for planting out in a garden - the slugs would eat them very quickly. A photo of them in flower is included. Info here: If you would like some, please let me know the day and roughly the time you can collect from off Marston Road, OX3
