Check out this article at Dave's Garden, one of the best Internet sites out there for gardening info.
Sally G. Miller writes about installing an old mailbox in her garden. It not only looks cool, it holds stuff you might need while gardening, including:
- Pruners
- A trowel
- Gloves
- Pencils, markers, paper to make notes
- String or garden wire, measuring tape
- Plant labels, a produce bag for harvesting and a paper bag for seed heads.
- And maybe a bandana or a hat

Oh, I love that idea! My vegetable garden is in a community garden up the road a short way, and I'm always having to walk back to the house for whatever I've forgotten. It's both adorable and functional.
Perfect!!!!--Susan

What a great idea. it can be painted in fun ways. it will be original to you.
To Deborah if you do this in the community garden you will be the envy of everyone else. They will wonder why they did not think of it. Soon everyone will have a place for tool and other things just for the spot that they have. Enjoy the fun of being the first one in the garden community to do this.

Hope you all enjoy the article too.
