# Sometimes it takes looking at old (uh, one year old) pics to remind…

Sometimes it takes looking at old (uh, one year old) pics to remind myself that things are actually happening. The one Haworthia grew a three-part stalk, and it's impossible to photograph ha. That is a Pampered Chef casserole dish with two holes drilled in the bottom.

I’m the same. Looking at my hoard and thinking not much going on. Then I’ll pull up some of the update pics. And “wow these guys have grown a lot”.  
I also have a couple of Pampered Chef and other kitchen dishes that I got from Goodwill and drilled holes into. They look like expensive succulent planters. Out of all of them, I think the Pampered Chef dishes are the most difficult to drill. And I have ceramic drill bits. You can always tell which are the cheap ones because they are easy to drill.

This log required a Dremel and a drill ha. It's good to hear about someone else using cookery. I have wondered if they have some proprietary treatment, but the dishes are worn out and weathered by the time I use them.

Speaking of which, this dish is part of a project I keep procrastinating lol.

What a cool Haworthia! Love the transparent tops

Speaking of which, I was just admiring this one. Definitely in my top ten favorites.

Definitely want to add some into my collection. Any good places you recommend buying them from?

Mountain Crest Gardens and PlanetDesert are decent. The super shiny one in this comment is Home Depot, I believe. They get in waves of Haworthia in early Autumn
