The clay container with a hole in the center is designed to coil and contain garden hose, but being used as a plant pot.

Toad popping out of a hole in a clay container Toad inside a clay garden-hose container The Bad: having no choice about mowing the lawn on a 98*F day, and keeping edges formally trimmed because the neighbors have it that way. Also Bad: Fire ants that bite before you know you’re standing on a nest with bare feet……but Good: Fire ants keep the tough Texas soil aerated.The Ugly: me with ant-bite blisters, mowing and edging the lawn on a 98*F day.
