My husband just drilled a bunch of pots for me yesterday Candy. The only one he broke was the one he dropped. LOL.

I have been going to Norcal for literally years and years. My entire yard is Norcal pots. The trouble with them, is they usually have tons and tons of the same pot in different colors. So they may have 4 basic styles and that is mostly all they have in different sizes and colors. Lots of their pots are carried by HD and Target. They also have lots of Mexican clay.

But you really have to look closely because practically all are very visable seconds. The really good things, like a few Candy has shown, disappear right away. If you luck out when they are emptying a pallet, then you may get very lucky and get something unuusal or very large. But you must look closely because all are seconds. And always check for hairline cracks.

I found a new store last week. I went back yesterday and bought more pots. I think they are comparable to Norcal's everyday prices when Norcal is not having their huge sales. . What I liked is they have tons and tons of huge pots, none seconds. They have the ones that size down, so you can get 3 matching all sizes. They are made in Vietnam. I really loved some of them. A good selection. I will post a thread later about them when I have more time.

I got this one from them for $40. It is bigger than a 15 gallon pot and much taller I just love it. Perfect for my standards and it does not take up very much room for it goes up not out.
