So the holidays will be here before you know it, but I'm sure you can make some excuses for why you need these tools this summer so you can use them right away. (Well I am trying to make excuses now to get some of these items! Lol)

I had to share with everyone here because I see everyone else here loves to "pamper" their roses too!

PKS Copper gardening tools- claim to add trace copper to soil and discourage snails and slugs. They also claim to not rust like iron tools. Also a bunch of other things. Kinda hard to find in the US. But I did find a US retailer in CA. I just had to get the "Lyra claw cultivator" bc I love the design, the long handle enables me to aerate and mix in amendments under my weed barrier.

I want to get the "Castor hand trowel" when they get it back in stock this fall... Copper shocks snails and slugs, does it do that to earthworms? I was going to use it to scoop my compost I was going to use.

I also wanted to get a new watering can and I love the Haws Slimcan. I got the 5 litre one in duck egg blue. (It is 1.3 gallons US). I got mine on eBay from a seller in the UK (had the color I wanted and was surprisingly cheaper even with shipping) but they sell them in the US too. (I've only seen galvanized, red and green colors though). Here is a pic of the one I got:

I also saw on shopterrain.com there was an indoor gift set- small watering can and brass mister. I don't have indoor plants bc my two dogs and cat would eat it. If I worked in a business office I would want to display them and water my office plants with them.

Haws also makes a nice watering lance that's brass and has a shut off valve.

I don't know why, but I've been really drawn to British gardening tools the most! They really have a great design and the quality looks better than what I've seen here in the States.
