Spring is in the air and that means it's time to get out and about in your home garden. Whether you are planting flowers or a small vegetable garden, these tools will come in handy!
Kneeling pads are great for doing weeding and keeps you from bending over. As you get older, you will appreciate kneeling pads more and more.
What is a kneeling pad? A kneeling pad is basically a rubberized pad that is about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide for you to kneel on with your knees. It makes kneeling comfortable with some cushion for your knees.
These pads come in different sizes and price ranges. I have seen them at Dollar Tree even and these work pretty good.
P.S. These things are also good to have around the house for various jobs that require kneeling on the floor!
You will want to protect your hands while gardening with a good and comfortable pair of gardening gloves. I usually go with a 100% cotton glove as they are lightweight, yet keep my hands clean while pulling weeds, etc.
A good pair of snippers or gardening scissors is essential for any flower garden. When you pick flowers, you want to get a nice and clean cut.
A tool pouch is a very handy thing to have, especially if you are working in a large yard or garden. A tool pouch is a bag with pouches for your tools and supplies that is worn around the waist. It's great for gloves, tools, and even your cell phone!
You will also find a portable garden hose cart very handy for moving around the yard and watering your flowers and other garden plants. This just makes watering easier on you.
Great list, you reminded me I need new gloves! Thanks :)
I can't grow a garden where I am, but your list is right on since I am a gardener from the past.
I'm certain these are all worthwhile tools, but for my garden to grow, the tool I would need is a hired professional. HI5
Every year I say I am going to get a kneeling pad. Maybe this list has inspired me.
