This one is great for getting rid of small weeds next to plants.

What about the tool in the White House?
I just got a little tool called the Ames 7 in 1 Planter’s Buddy. It’s a useful little thing - a sort of serrated transplant trowel with a weeding tip.
My favorite tool is the straight hoe - also called stirrup hoe, saddle hoe, ratchet hoe , and other names. I see some other poster’s like it too.
The ground is so wet here right now - but I can’t wait to get out there.
I bought one of those and have already transplanted my basil into a larger pot. The basil is going crazy. The catnip and mint aren't far behind.
Great! There’s hope for me, yet!
Hey! Don’t spill the beans about my secret gardening devices. You DO know that beer is an essential gardening chemical - it’s used to attract and drown slugs.
I’ve been drowned more than once. :-)
Well, I suggest you move, then, LOL!
You’re Zone 5/6 I’m sure. Same rules of nature apply. :(
Here are a few you can try, but I’m not promising anything:
Lettuce, arugula, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, beets, brussels sprouts, radishes, swiss chard, collards, mustard greens, spinach, kale and bush beans.
You can grow a lot of these in pots with no problem; maybe you can place them in the sunniest spots in your yard?
Good luck!
“...but I can’t wait to get out there.”
I have Thurs/Fri off this week for my ‘weekend.’ The weather report looks good, so I’ll be digging up my rock/herb garden which is going to be converted to a Salad Garden this spring.
I can’t wait, either! :)
