Just go to your local clay source and get Mayco Stroke 'n Coat, and it's a bright red but I don't remember the name. You have to put three coats on, and even then it sometimes looks blotchy.

I'll watch that it doesn't get too much water...which I think happened with all our rain last summer. Good to know about pinching ends off. I'll do that soon, since it's still putting new growth on.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-3101251260660723062013-12-19T13:08:39.110-05:002013-12-19T13:08:39.110-05:00Those are shiny and bright, brings a burst of colo...Those are shiny and bright, brings a burst of color to every kitchen.
