#freeplants — Public Fediverse posts

Next up. Blooms & buds from plants that I propagated from cuttings & root splitting.

2 different roses - both propagated from Jubilee Hospital gardens cuttings, 3 years ago.
Yucca flower buds - from helping a former neighbour, when I lived in Cedar, split up their overgrown yucca plant. I put several in front of my old place (for future tenants to enjoy) & brought some back to plant here. That was in May of 2019. They just started to flower, this year.

#FreePlants in #pdxmetro!

If your in the greater #pdx area and want free plants HMU.

2026 has been a lot. For a lot of people.

I need your help to make it better.

I've got a ridiculous number of tomato, cucumber, and tomatillo starts this year — way more than I can ever plant — and I want you to have them. Free.

But there is a catch.

All of these were started from seed in March, kept in our polytunnel, and have only ever seen a single application of basic fertilizer. That's it. No fuss, no chemicals — just good starts for good gardens.
Tomatoes:

Stupice — Czech heirloom, early ripening, perfect for the PNW
Seattle's Best of All — a Pacific Northwest classic for good reason
San Marzano — the Italian paste tomato supermarkets wish they could replicate
Brandywine — big, beefy, old-fashioned flavor worth waiting for
Chocolate Cherry — deep, rich, sweet little things
Gardener's Delight — the classic cherry tom, sweet, reliable and absolutely prolific (only 2 available!)
Rainbow Heritage Mix — a lucky dip of color and character

Cucumbers:

Shintokiwa — mild, thin-skinned Japanese burpless, brilliant for fresh eating
Lemon Cucumber — round, yellow, unexpectedly sweet
Telegraph — the reliable classic
Çengelköy — crisp Turkish pickling cucumber

Tomatillos:

Mexican Strain — the real deal for salsa verde
Purple — same great flavor, more dramatic

(Tomatillo tip: you need at least two plants for pollination — grab one of each!)

I’m about 25-30 miles west of Portland.

The catch? Don't pay me. Instead — volunteer somewhere. Help a neighbor. Be an ally to someone who needs one right now. Then share it with #GrowKindness

Please be kind and honest, leave some for others. If we notice folks abusing it, we will have to find alternative ways to pass these on.

DM for address.

Wish I'd taken a picture..opened up the #wormery tonight to feed my wiggly chums and discovered about 50 healthy sprouting #butternut squash seedlings..a bit leggy and obviously pale but potted a few up. Amusingly the squash and courgette seeds I bought hadn't germinated so popped two of these in with the peas and sweetcorn and hope the #ThreeSisters thing does it's magic. #permaculture #gardening #Allotment #FreePlants

I've got some Yukkas and succulents from skips and have brought them back to life in my bathroom.
On the school run, we walk, builders just shove potted plants into skips,

Sorry for the bad lighting. Need to get step-ladders out.

My little orange seedling are getting big! I need to transplant them into larger pots! I have some lemon pips in a 'sprout bag' too! I know these will never bear fruit. Growing the plants from seed is just fun. #orangeseedling #growingplants #freeplants

Little sprouts from two orange pips I planted. It doesn't matter to me that they will not bear fruit. I just like growing plants around me! #orangesprouts #freeplants

#Rooting hard & soft cuttings to #propagate for our garden. #FrugalGardening requires #education on how to propagate. Two of my fave side #hobbies w/ #gardening are learning how to propagate & graft plants. I really enjoy experimenting with plants!

#Yucca #plant that I #propagated last year. It's now about 5X the size it was before I #transplanted it, after #propagation 😊 I got original cuttings from a neighbour's huge plant, when I lived in #CedarBC 👌

You can eat yucca flowers. Their flowers also attract lots of various pollinators 👍
