I'd rather spend the extra money and buy something sturdier elsewhere. I do save the clear containers that fresh fruit comes in from the produce dept. to hold flower seed pods when I deadhead them. Have a bunch of Prairie Sun rudbeckias in a container on the workbench right now, waiting for me to dump them in a paper lunch bag which I will label on the outside and save till Wintersowing time.(Jan/Feb). Or maybe plant them before first frost time so they have a chance to come up and bloom in the Spring. I'll keep your idea in mind though. I'm sure I could use it somewhere!Pippi21https://www.blogger.com/profile/07002511102541874660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-22268783128626673532013-05-23T10:18:16.291-04:002013-05-23T10:18:16.291-04:00Karen you dont have to wait for the girl scouts ...Karen you dont have to wait for the girl scouts anymore KEEBLER coconut dreams are the same as SOMOAS<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-77721698171891328442013-03-22T07:31:59.362-04:002013-03-22T07:31:59.362-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07318201655296390776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-23243977786340751012013-03-08T16:59:28.292-05:002013-03-08T16:59:28.292-05:00Hi Karen, I so enjoy your posts, and reading the ...Hi Karen, I so enjoy your posts, and reading the above comments I have a lot of company.
