  1. I got the sale notice today and I'm so tempted to get the red ones! But most of my pots are a royal blue so I'm also thinking about that glacier blue. I bought the original and leaf in the terracotta color because it was on clearance. I love how well everything is growing in them! But I don't have room for more.😂

  2. Roxanna I think I’ve told you before that taking vitamin B12 500mg once a day stops bugs from “eating you alive”. Ladies in my garden club in the 1960’s told me about it and it works . The rusted red shows off the plants so well. Love love it!

  3. I love that color! I saw that one came out a few years ago made with Gary Pilarchik "The Rusted Garden", another YouTube gardener! I already had two in the teracotta (one 5 tear original and one 5 tear leaf, so a little shorter), otherwise it'd be beteeen the red, green or black for me. So many great choices right now, and good sale going on.
