My gardening hand tools were spread all over the house and out buildings, with the lion's share propped against a wall in the garage. A few were behind the door to the sunroom. They are now back where they started in a dedicated spot in the corner of the greenhouse.

Another pass through the pantry has revealed a way-old big canister of powdered Gatorade that I mix up to drink in gardening season, especially during the summer (the salt content helps avoid cramps overnight). It's mostly sugar, though, and I'm going to set this can aside and once the garden is going I'll mix it up in water and pour as a fertilizer—it would be a missed opportunity to send it to the landfill. This also works with soft drinks, old milk, etc. (Milk helps fight fungal diseases like powdery mildew).

In a drawer I found a couple of the small bungee cords I've been needing, and in my mind's eye I can see the container I've been looking for, but either I put it away so safely it will never turn up or I used them all and recycled the container. I'll pick up some more (Lowe's had a good price).
