  • Tools - Lawn and Garden

    Can you ever have enough tools?

    Not sure about you but my answer would generally be a loud, "No."

    No matter how many tools I already own, a project always comes up that requires something I do not have. Or, I find out about a neat new tool I am positive I MUST have.


          OXO Good Grips Garden Knife w- Sheath                OXO Good Grips Garden Scissors

    The garden knife on the left is one of the handiest tools I own. Since I have a large property of nearly 7 acres, I usually carry this with me any time I head out for a stroll. The knife is sharp enough to slash at annoying weeds and wild-growing vines like kudzu, and has a sharp enough point to quickly dig out and remove many weeds or small plants - roots and all.

    The garden scissors are also good to have around since there are a lot of jobs that can be completed quickly with scissors where heavier clippers or shears are not required. Deadheading roses, cutting smaller vines in tight spaces...all of this can quickly be managed with a sharp pair of garden scissors.


        Womans Garden Classic Gloves Medium

    Safety is always a concern when working in the garden and when your garden is in the country you may be well away from your house while carrying out many of your gardening chores. Safety becomes even more important.

    Gloves are an absolute necessity and not just for protecting a manicure! Minor cuts and scratches can quickly become infected. Areas that have bushes with thorns, logs with splinters and weeds with chiggers can expose your hands and wrists to no end of minor but sometimes very painful damage. Spend between $6 to $20 on a good pair of gloves and you'll never be sorry.
