The problem is I really got into seeds this year and I probably have 100 or so sprouting in paper towels. I just realized that I don't have anything to put them in. Last year I bought some clay pot which were a good size. When the roots fill the pot they were ready to go in the ground. Think the pots cost about 40 cents but I don't want to spend 40-50 dollars on pots. I'm thinking of using 6 oz waxed paper cups I have. Will they work? Plants will probably be in them for 6 weeks or so.

Any other cheap ideas. Do they make small plastic cups? I've never really seen a 6-8 oz plastic cup.
