The croissants were lovely and now the container is protecting seedlings as a makeshift cloche:

I wish I could garden all year round!

    I do something similar - my daughter occasionally buys little fairy cakes or similar in those boxes. I bought some recently too. It's a bit smaller than yours, but the same principle.
    I use them for seed sowing of half hardy plants in the house. Very handy  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Me too,  no need to buy all the fancy stuff, lots of ‘make do’s’ around. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Agreed.  Opportunist salvage becomes a religion after a while.

    I tend to put similar containers out for recycling. Perhaps not so in the future. Thank you for the ideas. :)
