Lucky find!

Yesterday while letting my grand kids look through & choose their purchases from the toy area at one of the local resale shops, I found a baggie with these inside. I don't know what toy they're from, but for 50 cents I got 10 little 1-1/2" pots perfect for minis - and they even had two holes each in the bottom already.

. No poking or drilling necessary! :-)

Well, how cool! Looks like they would work well for rooting leaves also.

Or to use as leaf pots, just in time for the RR box headed your way. Now you can have your pots all ready, loaded up with starter mix! Joanne

Yes, that is 12 less K-cups you will have to dig the coffee grounds out of and poke holes in the bottom of! We "get" it! Joanne
