5 Must-Have Gardening Tools
- Edward Tools Soil Scoop: This extra-large soil scoop makes repotting plants so much easier. It’s not a shovel, it’s a stainless steel ergonomic designed scooper that lets you move a lot of dirt from point A to point B. It’s a huge time and saver.
- Vigoro Heavy Duty Planter Saucers: Every plant enthusiast hates when water runs through the planter after watering their houseplant beauties. These Vigoro heavy-duty planter saucers are durable and come in different sizes. They’re also super cheap so I always keep a few extras on hand.
- Velcro One-Wrap Garden Ties: These cut to size strips are gentle on plants and are made from recycled plastic. The width and sturdiness make them perfect for staking everything from tomato plants to viny flowers and drooping houseplants.
- Fiskars Multi-Purpose Garden Shears: These garden shears really are multi-purpose! The stainless-steel blades let you cut plastic soil and fertilizer bags, landscape fabric, burlap, twine, light rope, wire, tape, and so much more. It also has a built-in scissors sharpener and a bottle opener. The shears even come apart so you can use the blades as a knife for cutting large objects.
- Miracle-Gro Fast Root: This powder is a dry powder rooting hormone that lets you transplant cuttings right from cut to soil. Take a 4-6” stem cutting, dip in the rooting powder, and plant right into moist soil. There’s no need to soak in water for weeks before letting roots develop.

Years ago, we used to make treats for our dogs all the time, but it never occurred to me to try making them for our cats. I don’t know about you, but our cats can be so darn picky! After some experimenting, I finally came up with the perfect homemade cat treats made from tuna! Apparently, they are delicious because all four of our sweet tabbies love them.
