Well, I have been EB gardening on garage sale table and picnic table and was wanting to find another garage sale table and today look what I found, some guy was throwing it out. Now, use your imagination and do you see the possibility of two tables here? I do (smiles).
Here is another view, gymgirl where are you and your tools? LOL

Think three. You can detach bottom shelf add your own 2x4 legs. You'll probably add brace boards anyway to the others.
gessieviolet: My friend says he sees three also. He is a good carpenter, so will see how this turns out.
joy
Yep. I see three. But, I don't see dead people!
Gymgirl: Dead people, that one went over my head I think, they are used for putting my EBs and self watering containers on, but I do need to ask you a question. A while back people were treating their seeds with something similar to, I want to say memory; it supposedly makes the plants stronger, now I cannot find the thread, know what I'm talking about?

Do you mean "Messenger," Joy?
This is just one of several sites about Messenger.

CapeCodGardener: Yes, thank you so much, me and my senior moments. LOL That is what I was thinking of for my seeds this fall season. You are a real sweetheart.

Hit movie, "The Sixth Sense." Bruce Willis & Haley Joel Osgood? Osley? Small boy with issues in therapy. Tag line from small boy is "I see dead people." Totally predictable ending.
Gymgirl: Oh, ok. LOL I just sent for my messenger for my plants, my sea magic too, and am ready to start my starter plants, thinking about planting another round of corn, and possibly a few more mater plants. I'm also thinking about constructing a chicken wire cage around the tables when they are done to keep the blasted birds off my maters. Ugh. They were supposed to eat my arch enemy the horned catepillar, not my maters, of course, he never showed up, yet anyways, I keep an eye out though. That project will take some time and thought though. My pest control measures aren't working very well, but, not sure if it is the product (Sevin spray and Fertilome triple action plus in a pumped sprayer) or the drought, bugs, monsoons. Right after I spray, here come the thunderstorms.
I was adviced to get a product that has perethrin in it, one that has spinosad in it and possibly some Malathion as my big gun should those other two not work right away. Anyone know of any products that have that in it that they have used that works successfully, so I can narrow my research?

Joy, here are a couple of websites with sources for pyrethrin and spinosad. I garden organically, and have used them both with good effect. But this year, I've had more problems with chewing insects than ever before--maybe all the rain-- and I've resigned myself to more leaf holes than usual.

Cape Cod Gardener: Thank you so much. I sure don't feel like standing in the aisle of Lowes, Ace's and other stores reading a hundred bottles and what they have in them, chancing to buy them, and then being disappointed, so wanted to see what everyone else was using that worked. I think everyone has been experiencing bugs like crazy everywhere. My garden is shot already, and need to clear the bugs out for my preparation for my fall garden. My neighbor says he used to use Spectracide concentrate which 20 years ago came in a green rectangular can; but, says the can might have changed over the years and I saw some stuff called Triazicide once and done but it doesn't list the ingredients.
Does anyone know anything I can buy and use that I can get locally, as in Lowe's, Ace's or from a nursery perhaps?
I pulled up all but 4 cuke plants today and disposed of them, snatched out 3 tomato plants, ready to snatch out a bunch more plants that are being ravished with bugs.
