I understand about the fear of propagating plants from seeds. A few
years

the seeds sprouted, and I only lost a dollar or two on the seeds that
didn't. The return on investment was enormous. This time of year you
will
find stores clearing out their seeds. You can get some sterile potting
medium and sow the seeds in a margarine tub. You don't need a lot of
equipment and since it is warm and sunny outside, you can just start
them
outside and skip the lights and mess indoors.

Well, I did buy some seeds, and I will try to think of them as an
experiment. I had the brilliant idea (or not) that plastic egg cartons
would make nice little greenhouses....

I like the clear plastic clamshell container that strawberries come in.
Sometimes you can buy them from the grocery store as they are used for
take-out salad bar containers and come in many sizes.
