Yay! I like to make zucchini bread with them, and zucchini milk can replace cow milk in most baked goods.
>>The problem is that I now have eight peat pots with active plants and two large clay pots. And pots are expensive. Anyone have a local idea for sourcing pots? Ideally cheaper than Home Depot.<<
Try all of your dollar store variants. I got some huge pots really cheap there -- I think Family Dollar this year. They had smaller stacking-tower pots too, for $1 each. I bought a dozen.
Thrift stores are always worth a look. Don't just look for "pots." Look for anything that could hold plants. A cooler with a drain hole, a storage tub, etc. can all work.
Garage sales are promising, especially if you find a town-wide one where dozens of people will run theirs on the same day. Search "your state" + "town-wide garage sales" or similar.
Buy potting soil at farm stores, it's cheaper there. Do it soon because they'll run out.
