If you plan to start seedlings indoors or protect them outdoors, now's a good time to
begin collecting plastic milk jugs. Rinse them thoroughly and hang onto the caps. Then
what? You can cut strips of
plastic to make plant labels; cut off the bottom third to create a mini-flat for seed
starting; and cut off the bottom surface and use the top as a little greenhouse for
individual plants. And that's only
the beginning!
