Container, Containers And More Containers For Your Garden Flower Seeds

If you’ve never start garden flower seeds before then it might seem complicated. But it’s not. You can start them indoors as early as January and as late as October. You can start garden flower seeds on a window sill, in that old fish tank sitting in your garage, or the buckets sitting in the closet. You can even start them in trash bags. All you need is a little soil, water, a container, and flower seeds.

Remember that seeds and seedlings are not quite the same. They require different conditions to succeed.

Seeds require warmth to germinate and seedlings require light and water to grow and bloom. There are tons of containers to use for to start you garden flower seeds. No need to buy anything, you already have hundreds of containers and seeds don’t really care what type of container they are started in. So, let’s go!

Let’s see what kind of container you have?

Well, there’s your milk and half and half carton, the yogurt container, cottage cheese container, Styrofoam dish your meat or vegetable came in and your egg carton (one of the best seed starters ever!), sour cream container, oatmeal container, butter, beer cans, soda cans, liter bottles, gallon jugs, the holder for the blank CDs you bought, the box of cereal, juice, even frozen juice concentrate containers, ice cream, pies, cakes, cookies, bread, coffee, tea, any type of box and ever box your take out food comes in.

And then there’s the cans your beans came in or any fruit or vegetable, even the glass jar the tomato paste came in can be used as a starter container for your garden flower seeds.

Phew, that’s a lot of different containers and that’s not even half of them. Every time you buy some food or product at the store it comes in some type of container. So don’t throw them away, keep them to start your garden flower seeds. Then throw them away.




These containers are one of the best little garden flower seeds starter you can save. Little greenhouses just waiting to be used to start seeds.
