I also use leftover sour cream, cottage cheese and yogurt containers if they’re the right shape. The ones that are smaller at the bottom work best. Also pudding cups and egg cartons too.
Waste not want not indeedy. I resuse them from year to year as long as they’ve still got structural integrity.
I find the cups on sale at restaurant supply places and buy in bulk, cheap, and reuse the cups as I'm able. Only thing I have to do is cut the drain holes in them.

The tomatoes and peppers I had to restart are doing well in their plastic cat food containers except when the cat stomps on them. I waited a couple weeks to see if anything would come back after the two floods and hail storm we had over the course of a month. Two tomatoes made it, most of the squash is recovering and lettuces are coming back and some asparagus but none to eat. The cukes and one patch of onions didn’t make it and everything else like the corn and okra has to be replanted. There’s only a sprig or two of herbs coming up and they don’t look like they are where they belong so will have to wait and see what they are and go from there in a month. Hubby tilled the garden this week and filled in the craters the flood washed out. I pulled up the random volunteer lettuce before he tilled so we’ve been eating salads all week. I was going to sow some seeds today but there were reports of severe storms and possible hail. Enough already! Everyone is laughing at me that someone doesn’t want me to have a garden this year and I’m starting to believe them.
