Since I don't drink soda pop in 2 liter pop bottles, I don't have a ready supply of these to use for little mini-greenhouses. Does anyone have any idea where I might find used ones I could snag, or some equivalent? They sure work well in keeping grafted citrus moist. Thanks

Do you have a small local redemption center you can go to and buy some from? One guy I know gets a specific wine bottle he uses for test batches of hard cider that way. |

Have you checked your local recycling center. At mine there are literally hundreds, I would have to jump in and get them though  |

I use zip lock bags. Cheap and easy to store.

Brilliant. Much, much easier, and I've already got a huge stash of them. Thanks, Hershell!!

Hah! That was Patty in disguise as a man, going through people's trash, looking for pop bottles. On her bike no less. Truly frightening that Laaz has his camcorder available at any given moment, lol!!

Hi Patty,
How are your seedlings coming along? My key limes are still alive and look very healthy. I'll transplant them this spring. They're growing like crazy. I also have other news that other people in this house do not seem to be that excited about I have a lemon grown from seed that will 7 years old this summer. It started flushing new leaves about 2 weeks ago. Today I was checking it for mites and that's when I saw the small little blossoms starting. I think my family thought I had won the lottery because I got so excited  I had to share that on this forum as I have a feeling someone out there will understand the joy of seeing blossom buds on a citrus tree from seed.
