I thought I would share my favorite tool with those of you who enjoy gardening. Everyone knows that keeping a garden relatively weed-free is no small undertaking. This year, though, I have found the best tool for getting rid of weeds....easily! It is amazingly simple and very inexpensive.
- I May Never Finish Planting!
This summer's gardening motto has been..."if it's empty...plant it!" As you have witnessed, I have planted everything that isn't nailed down. You can imagine my delight yesterday when a neighbor dropped off a truckload of hollow tree...
- Time Spent In A Garden
"Time spent in a garden is not deducted from your lifespan." I read this on a plaque and suddenly it became crystal clear whymy Nana lived to be 102 years old. I cannot remember a day spent with my grandmother,that didn't involve at least a...
- Gearing Up For Spring
Finally, after so many months of snow and Winter's icy grip, we were treated to a balmy, sunny weekend. Ahhhh....the promise of Spring....a much needed gift was bestowed upon us this weekend. And we took full advantage of it. We...

Amazingly, since Minerva has taken up residence in the garden, it is virtually weed free (we won't mention that I spent the entire past week on my hands and knees). Regardless, the garden is the best it has ever looked at this point of the season....

My Favorite Garden Tool
I thought I would share my favorite tool with those of you who enjoy gardening. Everyone knows that keeping a garden relatively weed-free is no small undertaking. This year, though, I have found the best tool for getting rid of weeds....easily! It is amazingly simple and very inexpensive.
It is nothing more than a handle with this metal blade on the end. 
As you push and pull this metal blade through your soil around your plants, it cuts off any weed seedlings about a half inch below the surface of the ground....thereby eliminating them before they ever take hold. A little bit of labor and a whole lot of weeds are sent to their demise!
