I like to use these plastic 6 packs to start my seedlings in. I used to use peat pots years ago, but found out we've been depleting the peat bogs too much, and it's not an easily renewable resource. So, i went to the plastic 6 packs. I sterilize them every year before planting and with a bit of care, they'll last years! When/if you're going to start seedlings, make sure you use seed starting mix. Don't try to start your seeds in potting soil, it's too heavy and seeds basically want no nutrition at all, least at first. Tomorrow i'll post a recipe if you'd like to make your own seed starting mix instead of buying it pre-packaged.
