Pardon this bit of drivel, but I figured I can inspire some people's holiday gift lists. I know I don't NEED any of these things, make do with what I got, but damn, some of these things are pieces of art and not just tools!
Darn, darn the odd blog that injects some sort of wonderful garden item into my mind that I think:
"Oooh. And it's useful too. So, it's not just an expensive garden item/tool. It's PRACTICAL."
And that is the magic word: practical
It seems LESS irrational to want to spend $130-145 on a watering can if it will last you all your life:
Haw's watering cans (look at that handle! and the removeable rose! ). I feel like some men who adore cars about this watering can!
This is what mine looks like now: :(
or howabout this, $65 on pruners (because the blades can be resharpened! All of the other moving parts are SOLID)
And finally, I have recently encountered this site:
http://www.gardengiftsdirect.co.uk/
And did another, "OOH!"
and then "NO!!!!!!" Darn you British and your garden loving far away-ness!
and now all I can think is, "THANK GOODNESS."
and pretend I didn't see that and glad I'm too cheap to pay for shipping and not go broke on garden lusts, no matter how practical.
