Misting bottles.
I use a litre tesco branded empty bottle and its great. Feels quite sturdy and you can adjust the spray nozzle which screws to different finenesses.The smaller one is pretty flimsy though.

Short-ish cut flowers from garden to vase
I tend not to pick anything out, generally, I usually plant a couple of seeds into something like a yogurt pot sized pot and let them crack on. Usually does OK.
