If you want to seal a clay pot so you can apply mosaic materials, or if you simply want to cut down on the water loss through the pot wall, there are many products designed for this purpose. For instance, if you Google “How to seal flower pots,” you will see a product called “Clay Pot Sealer” that is available at Walmart. The site also explains how to apply it. If you have left over granite or grout sealer around, that will also work.

If you have a twist tiller and no longer are using it, I will buy it from you. A member of the Iris Club wants one. She also wants 2 round nose and one flat end shovels, a pick axe, hula hoe, rake, and wheel barrow.
If you have harvested too many bananas at one time, (You do have a banana tree in your garden, don’t you?) as soon as a banana starts to get those brown spots, put them in the frig. They may turn really ugly, but the fruit will stay palatable for days.
A tool you may wish to consider is a rubber mallet. Removing a plant from a pot is generally easy with plastic pots. You are able to squeeze the sides to loosen the soil. But with a clay or ceramic pot removal can be a chore. This is a two man job, but if one person supports the plant and soil on its side or up-side down, the other person can rap on the top of the lip of the pot to knock it loose. Using a block of wood with a regular hammer will also work and keep you from breaking the pot.
