Foxgloves - Lee Valley Tools

First to recommend

Description

I'm pretty sick of the bulky garden gloves that I got for $2.00 at The Dollar Store. They were most certainly NOT a deal. I'm going to try out a pair of these. They are much more of what I am looking for in a garden glove.

Product Description:

These gloves are designed to deliver a nearly bare-handed sensitivity while protectin hands from sun, soil and abrasion. An "hourglass fourchette" (normally found in high-end dress gloves) and stretch nylon LYCRA combine to create an extremely comfortable glove that offers superior fit and dexterity. The tight knit of the fabric keeps soil out and hands and nails clean. Silicone dots on the palm and inside fingers provide enhanced grip, while a long cuff protects the wrist.

Machine washable, these gloves are available in three sizes. If you prefer to garden unemcumbered by work gloves, yet want to protect your hands from the elements. These gloves are an excellent solution.

Sizes: Small, Medium and Large

Miniature Spade - Lee Valley Tools

First to recommend

Description

It's so hard to find tools for indoor gardening. They are simply too big! Here is something that is perfect. I only wish I had come across it sooner, but at least I did stumble upon it.

This 7" spade is useful both indoors and outdoors. As well as serving a multitude of purposes indoors, it is equally useful when when it comes time to transplant seedlings into beds. It lets you separate seedlings, with root balls intact, for low-shock transplanting.

Made of hardened, ground and polished stainless steel.

A great stocking stuffer for gardeners.

Lee Valley Garden Apron - Lee Valley Tools

First to recommend

Description

I definitely need one of these for my Spring "tour of duty" in the garden.

This apron protects clothing and has numerous pockets that are strategically placed to keep tools and accessories close at hand. Made largely of washable 100% cotton canvas, it is lightweight and durable. It has cross-backed shoulder straps designed to prevent neck strain.

At about 24" long by 30" wide, the apron provides good side and front coverage and has a reinforced vent at the bottom for ease of movement when kneeling or walking. (via leevalley.com)

Folding Catch Tray - Lee Valley Tools

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

The great advantage of this tray is that it can be rolled up (or folded) and tucked away when not needed. In use, it provides a 24" × 28" work surface, with inflatable 2" high edges to contain water and soil.

Made from heavy-duty waterproof vinyl, it makes a perfect potting tray (especially for those short on storage space), with ample room to fill pots without spilling on the floor. Alternatively, it is also an excellent catch tray to contain water spillage, or to protect the trunk of a car when transporting plants.
