Re: terra cotta pot warning

Ouch! i'm trying to type one-handed too, but that's cuz I have a cat snoozing on my left wrist. You have to be careful Pam. One other thing I've noticed as I've gotten older. No point trying to keep working whn you're bone-tired. Things take twice as long and you make more mistakes, and consequently can more easil get hurt. Better to call it a day and start fresh the next day if you can.

Subject: [CHAT] terra cotta pot warning
For those of you who use terra cotta pots, don't ever try to move one w/out 
gloves on.  Even if you can't see any cracks, it could break anyway.  I'm
speaking from experience.  Was moving a big one last night and and the
blasted thing shattered and tore up my hand.  That vein that runs along
inside of your thumb?   Laid it smooth open.  Oh well.   Fortunately I got
the bleeding stopped, put antibiotic goop on it, taped it up and wrapped it 
so it should mend up fine.  So don't make the same mistake I did.  I
guarantee I'll never do that again.   This typing w/ one hand is for the
birds too.  Just a friendly piece of advice for my fellow gardeners!  :-)
