I've blogged a few times about repurposing those plastic planter pots - once you've planted your flowers in the spring I encouraged you to keep a few of those mid sized pots and recycle the use.  Tomatoes are just starting the harvest season and you can grab those plastic pots and use them as a veggie/fruit strainer while harvesting.  You can also simply leave them in the garden, harvest and rinse - place them right back for the next week's harvest as well.  A few additional uses for those plastic pots- organize cables & cords - wrap & bundle them - when cords are in use, pull the needed length through the bottom hole - you can cut the hole to size.  If you are painting a flat item like a cabinet drawer - place four pots underneath to allow you to paint the lip of the surface.  In the winter - throw one in your ice melt and it will evenly distribute while you shake.   When the season is over, you can recycle them or keep for next year. 

Angie's philosophy is simple: take on projects that are affordable and easily achievable. Look for inspiration in magazines and make the projects your own. Hers are real projects for real people and they don't require you to have a background in art. Test
