Our regular visitors understand that the Garage Sale Show is always out to find new ways for our people to save money (green). Now that we're done with all of the snow (I think), lawns have been turning from brown to green. Folks in the Denver Metro area seem to be turning their attention to outdoor activities, gardening and yard work. And we have found some Great Denver Deals for anyone looking to get out for some sunshine and fresh air.

For the folks looking to spruce up the yard, you'll find Plant and Lawn Care Supplies, Tools, Garden Accents and more at Yardiac.com, "The Ultimate Garden Center." The Yardiac website also has Outdoor Living products for sale, including Grills, Patio Furniture, even Weatherproof Outdoor Televisions.

When you clear away the old vegetation and begin to acquire a pile of fresh grass clippings, will you be filling your trash cans? It's wasteful to have your organic materials hauled to a landfill! The MANTIS® ComposT-Twin can help you turn those raw materials into a rich compost that will help your garden grow. To get you started, MANTIS® will kick in a FREE 2 lb. box of Compost Activator, a FREE Guide to Composting and a 1-year (6 issues) subscription to Organic Gardening magazine (a $23.96 value) with your ComposT-Twin order!

When the garden has been planted, you'll need to know how much to water and when. While Mike Nelson, Ed Greene and the other local TV Meteorologists may know how much rain is falling at the airport or outside their studios, they can't tell you exactly how much rain has fallen in your garden. For that, Wind & Weather has an online catalog of Rain Gauges, Wind Gauges, Thermometers and more. They also have lots of Gear & Gadgets, Garden Decor, and lots of fun stuff for home and garden.

Of course, the "Great Outdoors" includes far more than just your yard and garden. The kids and the pets occasionally like to head out to the park for some fun. Mini RC Cars from HobbyTron will provide hours of entertainment for you, the kids (and probably the pets); and right now they're offering FREE Shipping on select models. And you can save a fortune on many pet accessories, prescriptions and supplies at PetCareRx.
