Not too late to get planting

061506_hable_gardengloves_1One of my favorite summer escapes is to sit on my deck among containers and hanging baskets brimming with plants and flowers in varying colors and textures.

Of course, getting the plants to the deck and planting them can be a bit of a chore.

So even though I enjoy the results, sometimes I need a bit of motivation to get me started and having a few fun tools to use is just the boost I need to get going.

Pulling on a pair of orange polka dot gardening gloves from Hable Construction will make cultivating more enjoyable and more fashionable.

Of course, what caught my attention first was the brightly colored grip material around the handle, but the unique design is what eventually sold me on this item.061506_hable_caladiumpillow

If these tools don’t help you to find your own inspiration, you might want to just browse over to Hable Construction’s decorating section and select a dozen floral pillows to surround yourself with, instead. I promise, with these beauties, there is no digging or watering required.

Okay, just sharing about these neat gardening tools has gotten me in the mood to get started, so I’m off to the nursery.
