Sexy Gardening?

August 26, 2009

There’s nothing sexy about gardening.  For most people, just the discussion alone will bore them into a deep, hypnotic sleep.  But I am addicted.  I love flowers, trees, grasses, landscape design and gardening.   Nice Garden SpadeSo when Tibesti launched on July 14th I was excited to indulge and buy myself some gardening items.  Even I was surprised when I found out that Michigan Bulb;  Springfield Nursery; Mastergardening.com; and Yardiac.com were all working with Tibesti!  Last fall I ordered over $150 worth of plants from Michigan Bulb for planting this past Spring!  (By the way, the Irish Moss were luscious and  healthy and took well!).

I move plants around a lot and was excited to order myself a spade.  In my Tibesti search I found this cool, ergo design spade, the best price offered by Yardiac.com for $36.95.  I then received $1.85 from Tibesti in myCash account.  It took a few weeks, as stated, but I loved getting something back.   I used my frequent flyer credit card so I got miles too!

I am not a “crazy” spender – as you may have noticed, I garden myself as opposed to hiring a landscape designer and gardener to make my dream garden come to life (which I would do in a heartbeat if I could afford it!).  But I do know that both my husband and my infrequent purchases add up and I will use my extra cash to once again indulge and perhaps buy some exquisite and beautiful dwarf tree or weeping something or other!

    by the way gardening can be SEXY…think about it….your bending down, playing with tools, and digging in the dirt…..you have the position, you have the tools, and it’s dirty :) ****LOL***** xoxo

    Gardening is terrific! I moved back recently from Europe’s (southern Germany’s alps) four seasons to one season Hawaii after many years. There I learned the first things about growing vegetables and over the years, about the seasons, temperatures, dirt and bugs!!

    This article about Kat’s experiences about finding websites looking for flowers, spades and other tools was so entertaining.

    Thanks Kat for the info!
    I will be sure to check out Tibesti and those garden websites!

    Very cool. Love the design of this thing. I dont have a garden but I want one. Pretty good price too, but then again, you cant put a price on sexy!

    Kat,

    Great article! Your passion is infectious and….
    because of you, I’m getting addicted too! You could teach a course for beginning gardeners like myself. I love my little terrace garden, but am ill equipped, have no tools! Will definitely order that terrific spade, thanks to you.
