Quick Seasonal Tips

Sometimes we run through our gardens like whirling dervishes – clippers in hand – weeding and whacking and pulling and digging.  When we are done, the beds look great, but everything else – pathways, patios, decks and entrances – look terrible.  And we’re simply too tired to do anything about it.  Result?  Zero satisfaction from an afternoon’s work.

Do yourself a favor this season and buy a lightweight handled trug for $5 and pick it up the moment you pick up the pruners.  Easy to fill, easy to dump and far less agro than a heavy wheelbarrow.  As your mother always told you:  Clean up as you go and you won’t be faced with more work afterwards!
