suitable for a mini greenhouse?

do you think these would be any good as mini greenhouses? they are about 15 inches high.  I am running out of room in my little greenhouse/tent thing.
They are what you buy croissants/pain au chocolats in, and we do tend to get through quite a few.

Probably best to take the buns out first - but they look OK. Just need some drainage holes and maybe a vent hole
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

The look just like little propergators.  Don't forget to make holes in the bottom for drainage. :D

Propagators - Yes.
Mini greenhouses - No

Any seeds in there would need to come out as soon as they germinated, otherwise they would go leggy & drawn.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

send the buns to me i can care for them i promise i will give them plenty of tea and  affection ... as for the plastic trays i use them and find they dont need vent holes in as they dont fit with a seal to the surface of anything .i grow my fuchia's in pots ands cover them with the trays and then put them on a shelf in the greenhouse  :wink:

I almost fill the largest half with potting mix and have a bit of perlite at the very bottom for drainage. Great for leeks, onions seeds, etc. Lid stays on until most germinate then I prop it open a bit for air, otherwise the cats will nest in them.  :lol:

Having thought about it, I reckon the answer least favourable to your cause is ... no!  :roll:
