Every year, we plant a large garden, plus we have a small orchard and lots of berry brambles. Here are some of the tools that make caring for them easier from seed to table.
Telescopic handle makes storage easier (and helps my short little arms reach the apples on our three apple trees!)
Fruit Picker Basket with Telescoping Pole
Easily pick your fruits and veggies- and best yet- HOSE THEM OFF OUTSIDE! Let them drip dry in the sun after washing and bring them in nice and clean.

I can't wait to begin sugaring our maple trees! We have 5 super large trees that we are going to tap this year. We bought this beginner's kit so that we have everything we need.

Am I crazy for trying out like 10 hose nozzles? Yes. Do you get to benefit from this? Also, yes.
