      Aren’t those loppers wonderful! I have 2 pairs of those and I love them! Thanks for stopping by!



  4. Knee pads or one of those mats you lay down are a must have too! Trust me, it only takes one long day of gardening without them to make you wish you had them!

      Oh, I couldn’t agree with you more about knee pads! At almost 50 years old, my knees remind me often that gardening is meant for raised beds I think!

  5. The cultivator is also wonderful for creating those uniform seed rows quickly and easily. And just like the gardening tools we’ve already spoken about, buy quality! Not trying to beat a dead horse here on the quality issue, but for the most part, if you stick with buying quality, they literally will last a lifetime.

    I StumbleUpon every day. It will always be useful to
    read articles from other writers and practice a little something from other web
    sites. Thanks for this article as it is very helpful for the ones who love gardening.

      I am so happy you enjoyed the article and thanks for “stumbling” onto my site!



  8. I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow. This kind of blog helped me a lot whenever I want new gardening ideas.

    The lesson I have thoroughly learned, and wish to pass on to others, is to know the enduring happiness that the love of a garden gives. Thanks again for this article!
