My Favorite Garden Tools
Gardening season is quickly approaching so I wanted to share what my favorite tools are to get the job done! Enjoy!
- MELOTOUGH Bucket Tool Organizer– This organizer is fantastic! It has lots of pockets all the way around. I put it on a 5 gallon bucket so I have even more storage in the middle where I usually keep my large scissors, fertilizer, and spray bottle. It is available in other colors.
- Fiskars Harvest Basket (black and orange basket)- I use this the most. Since there is a colander on one side, I can wash everything with the hose outside before bringing it in. I usually just put this over my sink and put all of my scraps to take back out when I’m done processing my veggies.
- Fiskars Garden Shears, Fiskars 23 inch Hedge Shears, Fiskars 5″ Herb Garden Scissors– I love all of these and use them often. I also have a tendency to leave them in random places in the garden and they have held up with sitting in the elements often.
- Seed Spacing Ruler– Yes, I am that person. I know it isn’t necessary but for anyone that knows me personally, knows that I like things to be done neatly and precisely.
- Yaheetech Outdoor Potting Bench– This bench has a good amount of storage with one cupboard that has a couple shelves, a couple of open shelves, and some hooks to hang my tools on the top. I did end up staining it before putting it together to give it more protection since it sits outside all the time. It has held up really well so far.
- Roo Gardening Apron– I use this for harvesting as well. It has a pouch that you fold the bottom up because it is open. Then you can fill it up and when you are done you drop the straps of the pouch down and the veggies come out of the bottom. I mainly use this for green beans but the pouch is big enough to carry several onions, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini and much, much more!
- Peach Tree Garden Cart– I don’t use this that often but when I do it is very handy. I typically use this to harvest my green beans because they are along the edge in my raised beds. I can just scoot along the side and be at the perfect height.
- Melon Hammock Cradles– These ended up being so valuable. I decided to grow my pumpkins on an arched cattle panel/trellis and used them to support the weight of the pumpkins while they grew. I simply put them around the pumpkin while they were still small and used the provided hook to attach it to the trellis. My pumpkins did end up having a unique design from the rope but it kept them from breaking off the vine.
- Photo Sleeves for 3 Ring Binder– I have a 3 ring binder that keeps all of my garden information/planning sheets. I keep all of my seed packets in these photo sleeves to keep them organized and easily found.
- Garden Stakes 3 feet– I have used these stakes for the last 2 years and have never had one break. They are very sturdy and work well for my pepper plants.
- Velcro Garden Tie– These are great to use with the stakes or on a trellis. I like them because they are gentle on the plant but are durable enough to be used over and over again. You can cut it to any size you need and are very easy to use.
