Title: Don't you just love Freecycle sometimes.......!
Post by: Deb P on November 14, 2007, 13:49:24
Had to have a bit of a boast about my latest Freecycle aquisition...I've been having a bit of a clear out this past week as I've been on hols, so had put quite a few things on Freecycle and managed to clear quite a bit to new homes.

Then I spotted this small metal cabinet in the offered bit, and thought it would be ideal to store seeds in. I emailed the offerer who turns out to have an allotment on the site next to mine, and picked the little cabinet up the other day. Bit of a clean up, made some index tabs and whoopee! ;D ;D ;D

....honestly i dont have that many only 263 packets of vegi seeds and 108 packet of flower seeds. Some packets have only a few in each honest. And i have to add to a seed parcel so i am sure that will go down.

And my plot has tripled in size with more raised beds and i have a greenhouse so its not that bad  ;D
