Well, we spent a lot of time putting our garden together, and now it is starting to sprout so we're way excited.  Leeanne put a lot of effort into the front flowerbed as well, so she wanted to get some of that crappy black plastic stuff to line it and fill it with mulch.  Much better though, was the landscape timbers we found at the Home Depot for just $2 each, so we got a bunch of those instead.  While we were there, we discovered the Home Depot cull cart, where they cut irregular wood, miscuts, and scrap into a bin for as low as $0.51 a piece.  We got a bunch of 2x4s, some plywood, some 2x6, and some other stuff.  Nothing large, mind you, but on average 4 ft each.  I should be able to piece together enough to make some stools, or benches, or chairs for around the garden and flowerbed or porch, and hopefully improve our outdoor décor on the cheap.
