I'm sure you've seen most of the images over at the other place. The pots for the cacti and erodium were picked up at a bonsai show/convention somewhere. The image of the cactus is at least 12 years old. I got tired of finding them growing all over the garden, and even more tired of getting stuck - they have the pointiest thorns I've EVER seen and they go deep and don't want to come out when pulled, so I eventually weeded them out. The little salter was $1 from something like a dollar store before there were dollar stores which are now $2 stores going on $3 stores, so I bought a bunch and planted stuff in them to give away (after drilling a hole in the bottom).

I usually make something out of a block of 2x4 that helps me keep track of the little guys

so they don't blow over or off the grow benches. I try to grow the less thirsty plants in tiny pots to avoid watering twice per day.
