jroot...love your clock/shed...very creative..nice use of wood on the front. I love functionality with practicality. flagtruck...most places have ordinances against outhouses now a days..but the portapottie is a good way around it. Ours was "grandfathered in" since it's been here so long. One of those camping potties would sit nicely on a small platform that would bring the user to the proper "sitting" height..and could easily be removed for, um, well, I guess disposal would be the best word! LOL.

yep, I can't believe he was just going to throw this away. But then he is the one that I got old wagon wheels from(he was gonna throw them away too). And yes it was the whole fountain, base and everything. They were my old neighbor's stuff that they lefy when they moved. This guy isn't in to garden junk, so he probably thinks I'm a bit eccentric! To each his own I say....

Cena, lucky you! I finally sold my cumingiana this year because I've had it for years and years and YEARS and it wouldn't bloom for me. It's a wild grower and I really never appreciated it's appearance anyway. Interestingly, though, I had a little tip that broke off just before I took it to our C&S club show/sale to sell and I threw it into a pot with another plant. It's rooted... I may end up with another if it survives! Denise in Omaha

I have had a few yard sales here last fall and I did really well. We have a really busy street that runs behind our house (an acre lot) and I had my friend make me up a sandwich board type sign that I put up at the corner. You couldn't miss it going either direction and I had a steady stream of people all day. I'm a plantlady, interior plants in homes, offices etc. When the economy first tanked my company lost some accounts and there were plants coming back to the office from the leases. We had no room....my boss just tosses used plants....I grabbed them and took them home, and put them in the shade of our citrus trees. The first weekend I tried it the big sign only said Used Plants for sale. My roomate sat with me outside for support....he thought no one would come. WRONG! I sold them all and made close to $500.00 in that one day. He asked if we could do it again and add tools to the sign....lol....he made some money the next time. Now instead of trashing the old plants that I replace in accounts....I give them away (to the employees of that company) or I bring them home and store them outside in the shade. So, even though it is a lot of work, I found it to be pretty profitable. I also started dragging out other stuff to sell too and I have my BFF come over (with her stuff) and we just turn up the music and have a good day. Whatever is left is donated. I always have a free box too.....with odds and ends in it..... oh and kids toys.....they get to take something home for free. The leftovers are donated and the plants go back under the shade of the trees till the next time. I was going to have one today but BFF flaked on me. Maybe tomorrow. One other thing that I loved about it was that I got to meet folks in the neighborhood. In CA I have found that it isn't as neighborly as other places I have lived. People tend stick to themselves and occasionally wave hello but that's it. I met my NEIGHBORS!!!
