Garden Hod
You've harvested your vegetables and they are
resting in a lovely basket ready to go into the
kitchen. Unfortunately, most
vegetables--especially the root crops--are
usually covered with sand and soil from the
garden which makes quite a mess in your kitchen
sink. You could take them back out of
the basket and wash them off with a hose or you
could use this handy Garden Hod and harvest and
clean your vegetables all in the same basket.
New England clammers originally used these wire
and wood baskets to clean their catch, but savvy
gardeners quickly discovered how perfect they
are for gathering and cleaning vegetables, flowers, plants and tools.
Crafted from pine and birch woods with a steam-bent oak handle.
Weather resistant hand-rubbed oil finish and vinyl coated mesh basket.
Garden Hod size 19 1\4" x 11" x 7 1\4". Burpee

Pig, Rooster and Dog Watering Cans
At first glance
these watering cans look like expensive garden sculptures, but
they also get the job done and do it well. The Wilbur the Pig
watering can has a
rose for a gentle shower of water; its coiled tail springs to
the touch. The Rooster watering can has a precise watering spout
for direct application. Handcrafted steel with a weather-resistant,
multi-layer antique bronze finish with hand-applied golden
highlights. 3 qt. capacity. Wind and Weather.

Garden
Books
How
about giving a good gardening book to your
favorite northern gardener? I've collected all my
favorite garden books on my
Book
Page.
I especially recommend
"Growing
Perennials in Cold Climates" by Mike
Heger and Larry Whitman for those just getting
into gardening. It describes 55 pretty
bulletproof hardy perennials and also gives good
basic gardening information on installing and
maintaining a cold climate perennial garden.

Wind Chimes
I cannot have enough wind chimes!
On a breezy day you can hear my collection
from anywhere in the garden or with the windows
open anywhere in the house. I can even
tell the direction of the wind that day
depending on which wind chimes I hear tinkling
and ringing outside. I know that any of
your gardening friends will welcome beautiful wind chimes
as a gift and Wind and Weather has a wide
variety to choose from including the beautiful
moon wind chimes that are pictured above.
