Out of intrest what seeds do people mostly plant in the paper pots?

I only use them for things that resent being transplanted (Parsnips and Sweetcorn) or things that need a deep root-run (my newspaper pots are 6" - 7" tall and only 2" diameter) like Sweet peas.

I have used them for Carrots, but I thought making one-pot-pe=-Carrot was way too keen!

And in the seasons when I have grown Salsify and Scorzonera I used them for those too.

Now I have a large collection of them.

Well, you can use them instead of ordinary pots for anything that you are going to plant out. Mrs K is for ever telling me how un-Eco my plastic pots are - "But I reuse them every year and they last for years" falls on deaf ears along with "I could use the time taken to make the newspaper pots for something more profitable" :(
