Normally, at our local Really, Really Free Market (RRFM), I'm known as the plant chick. Last year, I came out with rooted cuttings of basil, saved plantlings from various different thinnings of both myself and my friends, and extra sprouted seeds that were allowed to grow on to transplant size. I also set up shop towards the time of bringing plants inside, to show folks how to make self-watering pots.
This year, when the time came for the RRFM, I prepared and packaged a box of plants to go with my roommate, since I had to work during the time. She came home, announcing that she couldn't find the event.
These plants really needed to go in the ground post haste, so I didn't know what to do. Instead, I turned to my local FreeCycle group. I posted about which plants I had available, gave a general location, and gave priority to the person who could pick up and PLANT the transplants the soonest. About an hour later, the plants are headed off to their new, garden, home.
Sharing is caring!

And the remainder got planted in the black pot with the avocado. [...]
