Hi Kathy -
I love that tea cup at walmart too. I want to make a hosta theme garden with all 'Tea" named hostas so I must have that cup and sauce.

Kathy, I'm much like you. We aren't rich so I defer buying stuff I want until it goes on sale of someone else buys it.

I already fot my most wanted. A seed starting shelf made by my hubby from one of those *nice* metal shelves at Sams. Complete with grow lights and all!

I would however like:

1. a pretty swing for my yard

2. a little table and chairs to sit in my one little flower garden. I am wanting to make a prayer garden that I can go to study and meditate in.

3. wind chimes. I want some of the bamboo ones and then I adore the tiny ones that sound like fairy bells.

4. New baskets to make hanging baskets out of. Mine are coming apart.

5. Planters for inside the house. As I am replacing my house plants that were lost last summer, I realize that most of my pots are not very pretty.

6. One of those garden gates that has the archway for growning vines. I want this for my prayer garden as well.

7. statues, stepping stones, gazing balls, that kind of stuff. I have 1 fairy statue and would like a few other things to mix in with my plants.

8. some raised beds

9. a dumptruck or 2 or 3 of dirt

10. A garden tractor. This is probably the one I really want the most. We have a tractor but it's too big to get into most of my garden areas. I want something small that can still do the tilling and stuff... I hate the walk behind one!

By the way, Kathy547, I have lots of herb books. Which ones are you looking for? I may have them for trade.

I have four little garden 'elves', ages 3 to 12, but they don't weed as well as I would like. Plus they eat a lot of the veggies...which is kinda the idea, but it would be nice if some of the snap peas made it to the table...

10. More plants & seeds!
    9. More tomato cages
    8. A bigger garden budget ;o)
    7. A Greenhouse
    6. More garden hose
    5. New tools-shovel, hoe, etc.
    4. Auto drip watering system
    3. Fence to keep the bunnies out
    2. Rear-tine Roto-tiller
    1. Riding Lawn Mower

Debplus3, here's the list of books I'm looking for:

National Health Magazine "Complete Guide to Safe Herbs" - Chris Meletis

Making Concret Garden Ornaments - Sherri Warner Hunter

Natural First Aid - Brigitte Mars, Herbalist AHG

Native Harvests - E. Barrie Kavasch

Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden - Gilbert L. Wilson

Lets see....1. more room I have a postage stamp 2. someone to help me garden so I can relax and enjoy their labors - though I do enjoy mine but someone to bring me sun tea and bon bons would be nice LOL! 3. A fence around the yard so the neighborhood idiots stop stealing my yard statues 4. windchimes 5.a tumbler composter that would fit lots and lots of yard waste but take up only a single square foot 6.more plants can't have enough 7. trellis and tall stuff to grow vines on 8. a pond I could swim in amongst the water lilies and gold fish 9. room for an outdoor table and chairs with an umbrella wooden or metal I am not picky 10. a green roof garden so I wont have to keep replacing my roof every wind storm and would cut down on my bills.

This thread is very cool glad someone started this!

Oh, sorry, the only one of those I have is Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden and I don't want to part with that one. I would be interested in what other people have for their top ten lists.
Deb

Well, as long as this is a wish list...let's wish big...

1. A whole landscaping crew (free, of course)
2. More time in a day
3. More energy in these bones!
4. A reliable irrigation system
5. A Lastec articulating lawn mower
6. A way to get my husband interested in gardening
7. Pesticide sprayers that never clogs
8. Daylilies and hostas on my trade list
9. A source for rabbit manure (best organic fertilizer!)

10. A screened in porch -- I hate mosquitoes

I suppose 2, 3, and 6 aren't technically "items," but I'd like them anyway...
