I have a nifty little contraption that enables me to make 3.5" starter pots
out of old newspapers, so I'll never have to spend another cent on pots.

BTW, I've got a couple of pepper sprouts, namely, some of Burpee's serranos
from 3 years ago, and some offspring from the Hindu pepper seeds I got from
Calvin a ways back (thanks, Calvin!) And my two-year-old overwintered
fatalis are just itching to get out in the sunshine!

Soon, I hope....
