they have been short-lived for our area and disease-prone.
You will probably plant one anyway, they are cheap and plentiful
and look okay for a year or two. You will take it down in
a decade or so when it dies. Then your landscaping will have
a gaping hole in it with nothing to show for itself.

If you are a righty or a lefty, a good pair of bypass pruners are a must. Felco makes a rotating-handle pair (right- or left-handed), that although are pricey ($49.00), take the strain off your hand, wrist and forearm. These pruners also have available parts so with good after-use care, will last for more than one season.
Available at www.leevalley.com in the Gardening section, under Pruners.

Well,
just when you thought it was safe. No... so stick a pin in the
Mom Nature doll and hope our older plants recover. This has
not been the kindest spring for gardeners, but we are made of
hardy stuff.

| Seriously, a golf bag attached to a pull-behind cart makes the best tool caddy for working in the yard. It doesn't easily tip, rolls over everything and you can stow a rake and other long handled things in the club slots with enough additional pockets for pruners, trowels and what-not.
Pick up a used bag at a yard sale, commandeer your spouse's spare, watch the golf outlets' sales and grab a cart. It works great.

This tool is a cross between a knife and a trowel and is excellent for planting, transplanting, grubbing, removing roots and weeds, dividing perennials. The blade is dished and has a serrated edge on one side and a sharpened edge on the other. Does well in our crappy soil.
I got my Japanese Farmer's Knife a
www.leevalley.com for $17.50 in the Gardening section, under Trowels. It comes with a sheath.
