Echiums and other plants for free

I am having a clear out and need space so I have to get rid of a number of plants in pots - I hate doing that. If anyone lives in the Harrogate area they are very welcome to come and pick them up. I don't want anything for them. Just send me a PM.

They are tender plants such as different types of Echium, Geranium maderense, Fuchsia boliviana, and the odd Iochroma etc.

 

To far for me to Peter or I would give them a good home ..:(..

Dave

 

And me too far I am sure there will be someone that can give a home for them Peter.

 

Bit too far for me too Peter, shame as I would have given a good home to something although I'm endanger of having to do a similar thing soon lol :D

A kind gesture all the same...:thumb:

 

Thank you all for your moral support. I think the reason most of us are on this forum, is that we don't have like minded friends just round the corner.

My conscience is eased a little bit by having made the offer, but it still hurts to get rid of good sized plants.

I currently have about 20 Brugmansias, all from seed this year, that are just coming into flower. They range from 4 to 6 feet tall. There is no way that I can overwinter all of them - so more hard decisions are coming up. I will be taking cuttings - but to abduct the young and kill the mother still seems hard.

 

Kind gesture. Again, too far, sorry!

 

Hi Peter, perhaps if the mods allow you could post in the general discussions section where more people will see it and you might get a more favourable response, rather than such great plants going to that great garden in the sky.

Also if anyone wants to arrange their courier then a new home might be found :thumb:

 

The problem is, Bilbo, that all the plants that I have surplus are tender perennials. Those are the ones I like growing as the hardy perennials just look after themselves. But its difficult for most people to overwinter tender perennials. So I think most would not be interested.

 

Peter, maybe you could try your local freecycle network?

Steve...

 

Thanks Marley - I will give Steve's idea of freecycle a go.

Thanks Steve - Its time I tried Freecycle. I was originally put off by giving a lot of info to Yahoo. I could see myself getting inundated with spam. I am still not happy but have taken the plunge.

 

Hi Peter, we use Freecycle a lot to give away some surplus plants and we have also picked up some plants and other useful stuff; not had any problems with it at all, spam or otherwise....:thumb:
