You californians make me laugh! A gardener! How about buy 60 dollars worth of used tools (from someone who is under water), turn off your tv, get out of lounge chair, and take care of your yard!!
You will make 1200 a year (a 529 for your kid). Your waist will be smaller, you will show the value of owning and taking care of something to your plastic children, and you might have a few well earned calluses.
Additional savings, you can get up saturday morning and wash your car save a few dollars more (16 bucks a shot at delmar highlands), and maybe not have the caramel machiatto ($3.50).
Lets see that would 1200+16*26 (once every two weeks and starbucks) = 1681 yr + 20 lbs off your waist, (a bit more xse!!! with your wife or time away from her).
Ahh but screw that, wheres my maid for my mcmansion
