Hi,

Does anyone mind if I start a thread for requesting/reporting garden related items that we all are looking for/finding in our areas? I am always looking for something and hoping to find a great price. [g] I don't get out shopping very often so I like to check in with others that might be out and about more than I am.

I am in Eastern Massachusetts and I have started going through the weekly circulars and have a few online email notifications set up, so I can report that the Big Lot stores in my area have a few things for sale right now. Foam planters in different colors, styles and sizes. $20. for the 20inch size. Solar lights for $8.98, Outdoor fire pits.. $70.?, and a metal gate archway around $90.
I bought one of those foam planters and attach a photo of the 20 inch size.

Right now I will be looking for bamboo stakes, tomato cages/stakes, new varieties of coleus, flat rocks for making a pathway, steppable plants, some ilex glabra and taxus shrubs, when any of the seed racks go on sale for 50% off, and I am always looking for containers.

Anyone else that is looking for something, please feel free to post it here too.

Thanks,
prairie
