I am really getting the urge to go 'junking' again. I have a list of things that I really want to look for. One of them being a childs old little peddle car, preferably dented and rusted to put a plant in (on the seat). Another being an iron headboard. But I am sure other things will catch my eye Wink

I believe you CAN. One of our neighbors down the road has cars that he cut in half, hitched together and displayed in his front yard (don't ask me why). And they ask why American home prices have dropped...

I don't think any of us would disagree with you on that, but we are not talking about real and true junk in our yards...we are talking about taking interesting items and making them useful in the garden.

Just give me more, more, more !!!!!!! In fact I got another gazing ball yesterday. Have wanted a (solid)red one for two years and couldn't find one. So now I am happy for now!

I agree to each their own. Personally I have a lot of driftwood, and beach rocks being that I live a stones throw from the ocean. and I have to have my solar lights. Old washtubs and galvanized buckets. Just remember to save room for plants, lol.
Cheers,
