Re: throw away society/shopping

Speaking of plants in terra cotta...

I was in Lowes today and they had this cute little Sago Palm in a wide
shallow terra cotta  pot.  The pot was topped off with gravel and the whole
thing appeared to be GLUED in place.  This is a live plant, but you could
turn the whole thing, gravel and all upside-down and it wouldn't budge.
Does this make sense?
