Frugal Gardening

using some 6x6s

I have 7 five foot 6x6s that I want to incorporate into the garden in an "artistic way" but can't really come up with an idea. I was thinking of standing them up at slightly different angles or something. I'm looking for some ways to use them other than a retaining wall or border.

6x6's are just not artistic. No matter what you do with them it will look like 6x6's stuck in the ground. Build a garden bench and stick it a peaceful corner of the garden or use them for bird houses or feeders

Build a tiered raised flowerbed. I suggest a square base for the first level, then a diamond shape for the next level, maybe a diamond on the third level. Beans on the first level, tomatoes on the second level, and King corn on the third level.
