Seed packs and labeling material. I think the most unique coming together of gardening and crochet I have ever seen had to be plant pot "skirts." The lady was able to re-use black nursery pots for her house and porch plants and still have it look really good. I plan to learn to crochet this winter. I will try that if I can find a pattern and more info. Like what yarn would be best.

The triangular planter is the bottom and side walls of one of those Rubbermaid outdoor storage closets that was torn apart in a storm. Jim secured the corners with screws and I covered them with a thick mud mix of sandy clay soil dug from the property and Type 1-Type 2 portland cement. I thought about using joint compound, but decided to go with the material I knew best. The joke here is people stay busy and moving so I don't stucco them with one of my cement mixes. Portland cement is like duct tape here. A common problem solver. Working with cement can be dirty hard work, but I think the smartest definition of "disable person" came from a learning disabled gardener I met once. He said a disable person is someone who has to work twice as hard to get half as far.

The paint job is a little brighter than we had in mind. I was thinking Terra cotta, not orange. But, the painter was a 15-year-old. They aren't known for being subtle. The "Aztec" decorative accents were made from a thin concrete mix set up in old deli containers. Most people don't notice, but sometimes those have very interesting patterns.
