I just scored a great plant pot off someone's hard rubbish, and it came with a free arm workout. ๐ช It started off feeling pretty light, but I swear that thing got heavier as I walked.
omg carrying my hard rubbish prize home yesterday was a nightmare, it even had handles for easy carrying. What type of plant?
No plant, just the pot. It's a tall, ceramic rectangular planter. It did not help that the lip of the pot was rough, so it was hard finding somewhere to grip it without rough edges digging in. It would have been fairly easy if I could have used both hands, but walking the dog and only having one hand free made it a bit tricky.
It was filling with rainwater!
It did have a bit of rain in it, but as there was a big hole in the bottom of the pot the risk from the rain was more about making sure the water escaping from the hole did not run down my leg.
