The Best Gardening Tools
I don’t know about you, but I like good gardening tools. They feel right in your hand, do the job smoothly and quickly, and best of all, they last. Even if you treat them, as I sometimes do, with less than the proper care and attention!
On the other hand, poor quality tools are just annoying.
A Matter of Focus
A garden without focal points is like a meal without spices! Fine, as far as it goes, but just a little boring.
Focal points tell you where to look in the garden. They lead the eye and create a focus for the lush beauty of your plants. Imagine this flower bed without the striking urn. The shape and colour of the urn give life to the plants. They tell the visitor where to look and they frame the way the garden is viewed.
Focal points can lead you through a garden, drawing you down a pathway to an inviting bench, or cause you to pause by a water feature to take in the sight and sound of moving water. And of course, they can draw the eye away from what the gardener does not want us to see!
It's Not Too Late to Plant a Vegetable Garden in a Container
With our cool wet spring, many of us feel we’ve missed the time to plant vegetables. But it’s not too late. You can start a container vegetable garden today and be eating from it in 6 to 8 weeks. Choose your plants carefully, and you can be eating from it until the first frost.
