Greetings:  Yesterday I was putting away the containers I had used to start
and grow the seeds which have finally become plants, and some of them are
actually going to bloom soon;

I just saw, in a book about home canning and preserving, that it's part of
the mystique to not go out and buy the jars but to make use of the
commercial food containers one saves for the purpose; I got thinking it
would be instructive and fun to learn what other gardeners use for their
needs, those of us who believe in not wasting, in re-using materials, in not
spending hard-earned money if it can be helped;  

for example, we bring home chinese food every once in a while, and some of
the dishes come in aluminum pans; I use these to get seeds sprouted, putting
holes for drainage in first; when I need more space for the seedlings, I use
the large size aluminum baking pans, and also the bottom half of waxed
cardboard milk containers.
