HAVE: Have many plants to give away for free / Central Mass

21 years ago

Hi All,

I have alot of plants that I will give away if you can come pick them up. They are too large and too many to pack and ship. I am diging up my Tropicals and others to put in the greenhouse for the Winter. They will not all fit. I would much rather give them away then throw then away. I live in Hubbardston, MA. If you would like any plants that you can come pick up please email me and we can set something up. The nights here have been getting cold, it was 40deg last night. Here are just a few of the plants that I have. Thanks, Mark

Cannas

Taros

Brugmansia

Datura

Elephant Ears

Umbrella Palms

Hello lmoaks:

I live in Ayer, and would love to take a Sunday drive to Hubbardston and see what you have left (if anything..) Will take whatever you have and would love a tour of your greenhouse if possible. Hubbardston is about 40 mins away but it is so beautiful this time of year with the gorgeous fall color. Feel free to email me or post. Thanks lots. Debra

WOW! Received my seeds today and boy, did Smithseeds ever pack the envelope! Oh my gosh, what a variety! A mix of veggie (beans, peppers, tomatoes), fruit (watermelon, strawberry, raspberry), and flower seeds (columbine, cosmos, pansy). Too many to list. A huge thank you to Smithseeds for all the seeds. Cheers, Deb

FYI the Wegelias have all been popped out of the ground. Had a track hoe on site for other work this week and he did this favor. So if you've been holding back on the Wegelia because of digging, they are ready to haul. Jim

Kuddos to you in your generosity, m'friend! Tell ya what bro, it doesn't stop there. For the past many moons, we've been taking some of the surplus of our harvest up to the retirement village where my stepsons grandma has been residing. Unfortunately we lost her right before this Christmas past. Recently, a couple of the staff have contacted me via e-mail, and phone, to let me know that some of the other residents have all ready been inquiring as to whethat or not we would still be comin around to visit, and I assured them that we would indeed be coming around with gifts aplenty this year, the same as before! It made my oldest boy well up (and his old man as well, truth be told!) We gardeners sometimes don't realize how much we have been blessed, do we?

Great post DG,...was just searching a bit and came across your poignant ( whatever that means ) post from a few months ago. I am, like you, also trying my best to do whatever I can to help out certain guys who are struggling ( now have a bajillion butterflies flitting about the new garden, including of course, many of the poor monarchs ) Where was I ? Oh yeah,.. one of the aspects I liked about planting a 22 + ft Edith Bogue Southern Magnolia tree on my front lawn two years ago was that the bees just love milling all over the stigmas in the center of each foot-wide white blossom. Have 25 of the foot wide show stoppers in full bloom this morning. Sitting on the lanai inhaling the heavenly scent these days somehow seems illegal ! ( lol ) ( internet pics ) Different strokes for different folks,..just my way to help out the bees ! ( smile ) Hope you're doin' fine'.
