The Garden Peeping Stick is a treasure for the spring time…peering under the drooping bells of Fritillaria and hellebores…peering underneath the snowdrops to see all their markings…True Gardener’s Nirvana. 

Nothing worse than getting down on your knees in the soggy spring earth — and nothing chicer than being the only one with a Garden Peeping Stick

It makes a perfect stocking stuffer for those on your gardening gift list.

RAKING - A Moss Rake

New Favorite Garden Chore is fluffing up and cleaning and greening the moss with a bamboo rake.…or at least right up there with Japanese maple pruning — (for me the paradigmal garden task and much easier since subscribing to SUKIYA LIVING --- the easy-to-read Japanese Gardening Journal with no-miss illustrations for pruning, setting stones all the things that look so easy but are really so hard)

I know it's not very Martha Stewartian, but I hate weeding (although there is sometimes a sense of accomplishment when the ground is damp). I like to plant bulbs, for me it's like painting pictures, but I hate getting an overgrown plant out of a plastic container….

And the thing I really hate is winding the hose back onto its reel; but I do very much like this raking of the moss.... (you can buy bamboo rakes on amazon)
