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.... Alex
