I mentioned in a previous post that I've been haunting craigslist lately, buying pots for the garden. Most of them have been small enough that I have been able to handle them easily. Today, I bought an enormous one, and I had to drive all the way to West Seattle to pick it up! That's about 30 miles on highway, and once we got there, Nigel and the woman selling it had to wrestle it down a flight of stairs, and then into the back of our teeny-tiny Prius.

And it didn't fit, at least not with the hatch closed. Good thing the car has proper tie-downs. We scored some free rope and a towel to protect the back window on the car. With the help of my very patient, supportive and indulgent husband, who knows how to tie proper knots, we got it home, and out of the car in one piece.

You have to admit -- that is definitely some pot!
