AMAZING DUDE!
I would sooo grow tomatoes (and other greenery)in them on my deck.. can I place an order NOW for next year??????
sure thing Grego---as soon as the ferns my wife plants in here finish dying I need to find some flowers to put in them (my wife thinks these will magically restore the health of our ferns, but I am not buying it...)
Those will look beautiful with ferns. Maybe they will feel so pretty the health really will be restored! Or, maybe plants aren't as vain.
Astonishing, Gary, and thanks for the close-up. They'd sell like hot-cakes over here; problem is, people here don't generally want to pay more than hot-cake money for good pots!
Amazing, Gary. THat's the problem with getting used to paying "Made in country-with-repressive-regime" prices, John. We almost die of sticker shock when we see how much locally-made quality goods cost.
you said it! the flower pot economy is the worst! at the garden center you can get a huge ceramic flower pot glazed any color, made in Mexico or Thailand, for ten bucks!!!! for some reason, flower pots are the lowest end of the price spectrum
WOW!! I think these are some of my most favorite pots of yours. I appreciate the simple, understated beauty!
they are fantastic!
i'd buy one even if they are more than 10 bucks.
