I got a really nice outdoor patio set (3 wooden high-back chairs and 1 high-back bench) from my aunt who was getting rid of them. The only thing I need are cushions...but Im on a pretty tight budget and everywhere Ive looked the prices seem pretty steep. Are there any places that sell all weather-cushions that are reasonably cheap (but at the same time not cheaply made)?

My husband and I just moved into a new home and the previous owners left a very nice wooden bench that I am planning to place alongside my garden. I would really love an outdoor seating area, but can't afford to purchase a new patio set. Does anyone out there have some creative ideas for building an outdoor table to go along with the bench?

Thanks!

yes...you could put together a table with a large garden urn with a sheet of tempered glass. This makes a nice "coffee table" for an informal seating area in your garden.

Who likes mosquitos?
So you don't like those pesky mosquitoes.
Here's a tip that was given at a recent gardening forum.
Put some water in a white dinner plate (I suppose a small white platito will do) and add a couple drops of Lemon Fresh Joy Dish Washing Liquid. Set the dish on your porch, patio, picnic table, park bench, or other outdoor area.
Not sure what attracts them, the lemon smell, the white plate color, or what, BUT ... mosquitoes flock to it, and drop dead shortly after drinking the Lemon Fresh Joy & water mixture,.
TRY IT --- it works just super! It may seem trivial, but it may also help to control mosquitoes around your home, (especially in areas where the dengue and malaria carrying mosquitoes are reaching epidemic proportions) .
Pass this on to anyone who likes sitting out in the evening, or when they're having a cook out.
It's safer than mosquito coils - no offensive odor and harmful fumes, no risk of fire.
hehe, Bopols, then P&G should launch Joy into a versatile kitchen formula..

Mosquitoes in Houston...

Yes, 'day, your lemon thingy works. I can attest to that. We've long been using it here in Houston where our mosquitoes are gigantic (as they say, everything's big in TX). I first learned about it from a sales clerk at Walmart (or was it Target?) when I was buying those battery-operated insect zapper. She suggested I try the "lemon pool"...voila! the lamok is dead! The zapper thing works great for bigger flying insects/bugs. Perfect combo at poolside for a warm summer evening swim.
