Freebies!!Yeah!!

Over the last 2 days, I have aquired over 200 plants for free. Tomatoes, tomatillos, wateremelon. strawberry, peach seedlings, beans, a couple of different kinds of peppers. I also got some Coxcombs, lilac, and something else I don't remember.

While I was at one place, the man showed me his greenhouse built completely out of recycled windows. It's quite large and he said he only has about $250 in it. So, I call and tell my mom about the plants and the greenhouse. Well, she and my stepdad are remodeling a few of their rentals, including replacing the windows. The bed of my truck is now full of free windows, so I can build a greenhouse!

Gotta love the freebies!

Whew!! I had to open this one, when I did the mouseover of the title the last thing that I could read was "While I was at one place the man showed me his...." and my curiosity just took over, I had to know!

Free...one of my favorite woods in the English language. Then again, I'm sure it would be one of my favorites in any language. Congrates on the score!!!

I found one place on Craigslist. The other was a Freecycle. The windows were from my folks.
