Reuse a metal coffee can to protect delicate plants in the garden until they are hearty enough to be on their own. Use a can opener to cut off the bottom of the coffee can and place it over the tender plant as a sleeve. This will allow sun and rain to get to the plant, all while giving it a protective cage to keep wild animals away. When you're done with the can, you can simply toss it into the recycling bin.
