Its that time of year again - dust off the green thumb and beautify your outdoor spaces.

Don't know how many people here are into gardening or landscaping, but it can be an expensive hobby/passion/chore.

Wondering if anyone here is interested in posting their favorite retailers for flowers, veggie starters and landscaping rocks, etc.

Prices and quality can vary widely from retailer to retailer and even from one month to the next.

We put out lots of hanging and potted flowers in the front and back yard. We also put flowers around our Koi pond. The last couple of years we also have been doing raised bed gardens.

What are your needs and your favorite haunts for good deals?
