Definitely a consideration in Australia, where we have scorching summers, and have been experiencing a long drought (+ water restrictions!) Terracotta does, however, look much lovelier than plastic pots! I think we need a post on how to make plastic pots more appealing :) Another tip from an Aussie balcony garden, apparently terracotta pots dry out faster than plastic, so need to be watered more often.

There's something particularly appealing to me about this blend of beauty and utility. For now, I'll have to stick to herb pots in the kitchen window too. *sigh* to have space for a kitchen garden.

Love the history! I was surrounded by gardeners growing up as it is quite common back in the West indies. I have a big yard myself now but prefer the wild look. We all appreciate those that have a green thumb, unfortunately lacking in my department. Trying now to revive my houseplants! Superb article. Love the history!
