Recycling attractive tins

It's a great time of year to hang on to good looking tins especially around christmas when you might buy something a bit more exciting. I like the ones with Italian writing on or a nice picture. Olive cans are usually a good bet-you need the ones with stuff printed directly on the can!


I turn them upside down and bang a few nail holes in the bottom for drainage then in the spring when your seedlings are ready to be planted on they have a pretty home to go to. 


These are my basil seedlings in an olive tin-bit weeny I know but they did grow into heavenly plants and looked great on the windowsill!
