    I bought some lottery tickets today and it got me thinking about what gardening things I would buy if I had the money. Obviously we would all take care of helping family first but if you won $20,000. and it was stipulated that it had to be used on gardening tools/equipment/structures - not including plants, what would you buy?

    I'm thinking I would get a bigger greenhouse and all the accessories it could hold.

                    20k? Make that 2M and I'd spend 750k on a new house with an acre, then I'd retire and spend every day on the garden, turning it into real showgarden stuff.
