| I'm trying to track down some used or new 3 or 5 gallon plastic nursery pots to hold some daylily plants I'm getting in the spring temporarily.
Anyone know of a good source I can contact?
Thanks

| I've had good luck with 40# cat litter pails (larger ones) received by posting on Freecycle here in Buffalo. However, check with friends who have cats...I tried plastic spray painting over the side photos, but it only lasts 1/2 season...so not worth the expense/effort. Grocery stores w/bakeries, ask them to save you frosting, etc. pails. Pick them up promptly if you want more--they have limited storage/patience too, when they pile up. |

| Ginny B. Thanks for the suggestion. No cat owners around that keep their cats indoors. I'll ask about the bakery pails. Julia |

| If you have trouble finding enough of them for free, I purchase all my pots from Novosel. Good prices, fast service and a good product. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Novosel Enterprises

| Thank you adina72. Good reference. I found a local source who has new pots for sale. I'm not giving up my search for used ones but for now, I think these will do. Thanks again for the info. Julia |

| I'd recommend changing your thinking from monster, big pots, to merely normally big pots. Daylilies will do fine in 2 gals, you'll just need more of them. They'll do fine in 1 gals, but you'll need more more. The difference is that normal plants come in the 1 and 2 gallons, so people like me accumulate a stash of them, and normal people leave them at recycling. Three and 5 gallons are tree pots, basically, and unless you can find a landscaper who is willing to part, are going to be hard to find for free. I have two in my stash, and you can't have them. |

| mad_gallica: LOL, you keep your pots. I'm sure they are your treasure. Julia |

| Hi Julia, I live in Corning & have ALL you want of them, but I don't drive, so you would have to pick them up, I'm about 35min from you, I'm VERY big into Daylilies, so I would be happy to help;)Anita |

| Thanks Anita. I sent you an email. Julia |
