Free: many paper towel cores (cardboard tubes)

[siderea]

I was saving up the cardboard tubes that paper towels come wrapped around for a craft project of my own, which then I solved another way. So now I have about three paper bags full of paper towel tubes, in good shape, that I no longer need.

Anybody want them? I'll just recycle them if not, but I figured there may be some crafty person or some art/craft organization that would want them.

They're in North Cambridge. Because I have an injured knee and am trying, largely unsuccessfully, to minimize walking on it, it would be great if they could be picked up from where I am, not far from XKCD (Williams) Park, near the Greek Corner restaurant on Mass Ave.

Medford MA Garden Club annual plant sale is Sat May 21

That's tomorrow!

From 9 am til noon the Medford Garden Club will be selling plants at insanely low prices at it's annual plant sale.  The location is the Medford Library parking lot (behind the library), 111 High Street.

Hint: get there for the beginning of the sale, and lurk outside the roped off area until we drop the rope at 9 am.  It's a hoot, watching people run for the plants.  Most of the best ones are gone by 9:30, but since there's so many plants, and people often bring more throughout the morning, there's always something to get.  I'm bringing lots of tomato seedlings of many varieties, as well as some other veggie seedlings.  Most of the plants are outdoor perennials of all kinds, dug up from Garden Club members' yards because they are too dern healthy and need to be thinned/separated.
