#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.
