Well I told a garden friend to keep an eye out for cheap pots. I have over 200 potted plants and always need pots for seedlings, for potting up, cuttings ect. She came by the house today to tell me that they were lamdscaping a new shopping center today and were making a trash pile of the nursery pots. I went out and talked to security who said as long as we stuck to the trash pile we could take all we wanted. I estimate we salvaged between 500-750 pots (see the picture of my van, seats folded down, stuffed to the gills). They are all shapes and sizes and if I don't like the color there is always that crylon paint. A good day for recycling fans and if your in the San Antonio Texas area...I did not even put a dent in what they have.

Bad news, there were three king sagos in the trash pile covered in CAS or cycad scale. You have a king sago you need to start treating now. We now have 100% without a doubt the cycad scale thanks to whoever tried to pass their diseased plants off on this poor landscape company.
