I have my First greenhouse this year!! I've started alot of vegetables and flowers from seed and have used up all my containers I have saved the last 2 years from plants I have bought. Now that I want to grow my own plants I need containers. Anyone have a good source that is not too pricey?
Thanks for any help.

I've been using 8 and 12 oz plastic cups with holes snipped in the edges.

Check with a local landscape company. They throw away all their pots after a job is installed.

Thanks for your suggestions, hadn't thought about plastic cups!
As for the landscape company, wish there was one around, we live in the sticks!!

4 " round, 750 for 40.25 http://www.mortonproducts.com/page.cfm/1278


I buy the 3 qt size @ .21 each http://www.mortonproducts.com/page.cfm/1480


They're the cheapest I've found and ship quickly.

Thanks Melissa,

I'll sure try them, that is a wonderful price.

The spinach, kale, swiss chard, pok choi, I started from seed is now in my lasagna bed I created a few months ago and they are doing great.



Tomatoes I started from seed are now in gallon containers and will soon be blooming (celebrity and Better Boy), pepper plants are doing great. I'll put them in the garden in April. We have out last frost here about Easter which is the 12th of April this year.
I've started cantelope inside the greenhouse last week.

Also have lots of perennials flowers, seed I got in a mixed perennial seed last year, don't know what they are yet, hopefully I will figure it out when they bloom.

Sure is fun for me to start things from seed.

Thanks again for all your suggestions!
Vicki

You're welcome. This is my favorite time of the year actually. I love starting seeds and watching them grow so quickly. :) I spent the better part of the day getting my hoophouse ready to move things in. I can't wait! :)
