So, I've been gathering ideas for gardening/patio decorating since Matt and I started discussing doing our backyard.  Here's some of what has caught my eye:

These Grass Pillows from Potted look so cute and playful for outdoor furniture, also the grass clock would be cute too.

And wile browsing around her site I saw these glowing orbs.  They are so easy you'll feel like an idiot for not thinking of this yourself.

I saw these planters from Walter and I have a little idea of how I could knock them off and make my own.  I'll let you know how that goes if I give it a shot.

There is this pallet turned planter wall from Life on the Balcony, such a great idea! 

A book called Garden Up! has a neat idea for growing strawberries in a pvc pipe.  I need to get my hands on a copy of it to see what else they have.

Sunset had an article a few years back about no mow lawns.  I like the idea of having grass but don't really want to spend every weekend mowing, and we don't really have that much room to begin with.

The Outdoor Living magazine from Lowe's Creative Ideas (which is free to subscribe to) had a tutorial for a Deck-Top Pond that got my attention.  A little ambient noise from a water feature would be nice during the summer.

I also have a few ideas of my own that have been tumbling around inside my head, but I'm not telling right now.  A girl's got to have her secrets.  Either way I am so excited to get to work back there.

So what kind of things have you bookmarked and stored away in your brain for a future date?
