These are the plants I've been babying all winter to plant out now. I lost count at 40, but I think there are more than 50 of them. Some are very small. Most will go outside the wall, and I've created more space out there over the winter, so it shouldn't be a really tight squeeze. I need to go ahead and get these out so I can have room to work in the courtyard.

What I'm most proud of is that all but a couple of these were grown from a seed, cutting or were gifts or trades, so with the cost of soil and a little fertilizer, net cost = around $20, and that's probably on the high side.

Best part? I'll have lots of pots to put more plants in! LOL I'm an incorrigible propagator.

Dirty my eye caught that yellow container! Over the years and three cats we've collected several. I found they make great plant pots - I don't even spray paint mine. I also made a self-watering container out of two of them, a piece of pcv pipe and a plastic coffee container.

Bea, I have squash growing in one, and have two more. one has a lid, that for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get off, and one I use for washing pots, so I need it without holes. I saw someone going into their apartment the other day carrying one, so I'm checking the dumpsters regularly. The problem I've found is that most people put their last litter box into the bucket to toss it away, so I haven't scored any yet.

I don't care what things look like. I just use what I have or can find.
