Lawn tools

  • Posted on January 16, 2012 at 6:24 pm

The Sears store that is in the mall in the town next to ours, is going out of business. I think most of the stores in the mall have or are going to close soon. It’s a shame, because there were some really great stores there over the years.

I went to Sears and there was a sale on all the lawn tools. I was in heaven. Everything was marked at really low discount prices. These are some good tools too, and before this I didn’t have the money to spend on them. Gardening isn’t just a hobby to me, it also brings in a small income. Not much, but every little bit helps.

My lawn tools are really important to me. I’m known to treat them like my “babies”, since I’m pretty protective of them. I have a feeling it’s going to get worse, now that I have saved a great deal of money buying these tools, and want to make them last a good long while. I obviously couldn’t get the warranty Sears offered before, so I’m going to take care of them, and as selfish as it seems, I’m not going to lend them out to anyone.

Time to look for seeds

  • Posted on January 16, 2012 at 6:15 pm

Sitting in the doctor’s office the other day, I started browsing through one of the few magazines that didn’t pertain to sports, and found some really interesting articles about new places to get flower and vegetable seeds for spring.

I didn’t know you can actually join a seed exchange program and you exchange seeds with other gardeners. I thought this was a really cool idea.

There were a lot of websites given in the magazine, so when I have time I’m going to check them out. I might be able to find some seeds I want to plant that are rare or heirloom plantables.
