I was quite pleased to get a couple little things from my family, a nice extended watering handle for hanging plants, a gardening apron thing with heavy-duty pockets (I keep poking holes in all my pants pockets from sticking my pruning shears in them!) a pretty vase with paperwhite bulbs in it, and a little garden-themed planner. What did you get? Did anyone remember that you are crazed by green things?
I got a Gnome Door, so our honorable Gnome-ster will have a portal thru which to enter when he comes to visit my garden. A DVD about creating Patio gardens. A pair of Wellies...black with bright colored dots. And a promisory note for a bat house.
I got an electronic weed burner - boy is it great fun to use. I think I'm a closet pyromaniac as I'm searching out weeds to nuke every spare minute I have!!!! :twisted: I also got garden centre gift tokens which will be kept until spring and then I'll go looking for two dwarf red maples for the front garden.
I didn't get any garden tools, for christmas, but i did get "gulp" a pointsetta, attached with money. Well now i know i will be busy finding all those posts on how to care for one,,,lol.
No garden goodies for me this year but I got a bit of money and I'll be treating myself to a subscription to Canadian Gardening I love that Gnome door Toni!
That gnome door is so fantastic Toni, I want to stroll right through it Someone knows your tastes very well!
I got 5 gardening books, P. Allen Smith's Container Gardens, which I have wanted forever, The Essential Garden, which deals with every garden tool for every garden job one can thing of, Small Gardens, which has some really good info and ideas, Dictionary of Garden Plants, and Yard & Garden Structures. I also got a $25 gift certificate to Kirkland's which has lots of garden statues and such. I always buy for other people at Kirkland's but never me. And lastly, a Toro leaf blower with a vacuum attachment, which I absolutely love. It blows 235 miles and hour and shreds leave as it vacuums, not really fine, but they will break down quicker. Toni, I love the gnome door.
No garden goodies for us. Nobody thinks that far in the deep of the winter. But I got a gift card to a shop where they have lots of gardening stuff, so I will treat myself to some new things eventually.
Your new garden 'toy' sounds interesting. Could you post a picture? I did a google search but came up with several things and have no idea which is yours.
I adore the gnome door!! Ooo.... I want a weed-burner too. One of those little ones with the propane attached that let's you spot-fry them! *cackles evilly*
I didn't get any gardening gifts But I did treat myself to 3 roses from Heirloom Roses. If you order before the 31st you get 10% off!!! It was hard to choose, the selection is so huge! Deanna :-D
I posted a few pics in the Gallery of my new additions. I also got these: The You Grow Girl Book has lots of neat little projects in it. The other one is just one that I needed. You can see I already tabbed it for quick references to my babies!
