Freecycle took off and most towns have them, Kingman is not a large town and it has one.......they are in almost every country in the world.

I signed up. There's a group 50 miles south of me and another one 50 miles north of me.

I tell ya, I got my pots!!! There are about 1/2 dozen one and two gallon pots. Maybe 3 dozen regular 6 or 8 inch pots and about 50 - 4 inch starting pots. I've got several varieties of mint and scented geraniums which I cut and root to take to town and sell at a farmer's market. So, I've got all those little 4 inch pots that are going to be wonderful for that.

Last year I used styrofoam coffee cups for my baby plants to sell. There's a donut shop across the street from the house. The gal that works there sometimes needs a little help with something and we are always here in case of emergency or something so she gives Lloyd a free cup of coffee every morning. I rinse and save all those cups and that was my "sell cups" last year. They look nicer than some of my cut up milk or juice cartons and leftover gatorade bottles. LOL This year I got some "nice pots" now. And again - FREE!

Wonderful, larger pots for the tomato plants and how lucky you are.

Why is it so much more pleasing to hit a jackpot like you dear one did, than to go to the store and buy them?

Something in our genes, I suspect.

If you are already selling plants, look out, the greenhouse will want to grow faster than you ever dreamed.
