"As the Leaves Turn" is a soap opera for gardeners brought to you by our sponsors. When we last left our gardener, at the end of Episode 3, she had just received her long-for package and had rushed inside to open. In this final episode, our gardener is standing in her kitchen, staring down at the box, imagining what is inside of it. She slowly turns the box from end to end, side to side, examining it closely.

New Hoe! The Broot Garden Weeder
Want to see my new hoe? It's called the Broot Garden Weeder and it is a brute of a hoe. It's sturdy, strong, and sharp.

This may not be the best location for a Hoe Test Plot, but it works for me, for now. All it needs is a … [Read more...] about Hoe Test Plot
I have more hoes than Santa Claus
We are putting a rush in our hurry up* here at May Dreams Gardens. But even with hurrying up our rushing around, there is still time to grab the two hoes with red handles, wrap them in white streamers so they look like giant peppermint candy canes, and pose them by the fireplace. I wish I had thought of this pose earlier so I could have used this photo for my Christmas cards. But I didn't think of it until recently, so please consider this your virtual card from me to you. It is common … [Read more...] about I have more hoes than Santa Claus

Here at Hoe Talk, we like to cultivate our interest in gardening hoes and dig deep into the world of shovels, trowels, and other gardening tools. Today, I'd like to address the whispers.
