A few weeks ago my sweet little teapot cracked. Not all on its own mind you, I sort of dropped it in the dishwasher. You can't really see it here, but there was a thin crack down the side that kept it from holding water.
Sad as I was to do it, I got out my hammer and broke it up into little bits. This is not really an activity for kids, but a good way for grown-ups to get out some tension.
I put the bits into a flower pot to help the soil drain,
and filled it with marigolds.
My poor teapot is no more, but at least these cheerful marigolds now have a home.

A good idea and thank you!
When my plates and other ceramics get broken, I like to just place the pieces in the garden to add bright bits of color (especially nice for the non-blooming months). Sometimes it's like an archeological find, or if there's big piece, like half a dinner plate, I'll stick it in the ground upright. One recent addition had a multi colored rim, so now I have a mini-rainbow sitting in the woodruff.
Great idea! Now I wish I had a garden...
