I can’t wait until Spring. Today we had some sunshine and blue skies. Even though the outdoor temperature was only 22 F this afternoon, the sky looked spectacular. I gazed out my window at my snow-filled picket fence garden and continued to dream about warmer days.
March is a good time of year to review what gardening tools need to be replaced, and which ones should just be cleaned and organized. It is still too cold for me to be cleaning off my garden bench, but taking an assessment of what should be replaced has been completed. I also spend time looking through my photos of last years’ garden during the Spring months. Here are a couple of photos of my garden in early Spring from 2014.
Over recent years, garden hose technology has advanced. Last year, I remember being sprayed by the leaking hose, having wet socks and garden clogs, or trying to turn it off with frustration. So, I am replacing my hose this year. I found this 150 foot expandable Gorilla hose and it arrived earlier this week.
First of all, it feels like a quality product. It is lightweight with brass connections. One end of the hose has a stopcock, which will allow me to fill my watering cans and turn off the water in one turn. This is just what I need as I like to use a hose sometimes, but often prefer a watering can for certain tender perennials. I like the ability to direct the water around my flowers. The hose length is longer than any other hose I have ever owned. As the black fabric cover expands, it stretches as the water fills the hose. The hose has a double layer latex core. I placed this hose on my garden hose cart, and noticed immediately that it takes up less space than my old green garden hose. The design is well thought out and manufactured. The hose already has several five star online recommendations, so I know this is the one for my garden. I am looking forward to using a hose that will not kink, leak or tangle this growing season.
