How to keep from losing those shears

You don't want lose those nice shears and discover them weeks later, under a plant, covered in rust. This sturdy holster keeps them right by your side.

A barrel to collect rain to water your garden with.

Rain is so much better than cold hose water, which is often treated with chlorine and what not. Get a model with a planter on top or purchase a more traditional model. You could also just buy a simple appendage that connects to almost any downspout (and direct the rainwater into whatever type of bucket or barrel you wish).

Plant labels to help you keep all your sprouts straight.

Label every pot as soon as you put a seed in it: very handy when you're attempting to grow several varieties of plants that you've never seen before.

Durable gloves coated with finger-protecting nitrile.

I can't recommend them enough! They're rubberized on the palm & fingers (so no dirt under your nails), but the back is a breathable (so they're not hot). You can't use them to prune your roses, but for most other gardening they're great.

A simple spray bottle to help revive parched plants.

Nothing helps perk up my poor wilt-y plants after a dry spell like a deep watering followed by a spritz-y shower to freshen them up. It's like how when you're really hot and dehydrated: you need to drink water, but a cool shower feels damn good too.

Fabric pots for gardeners who don't have the space for an actual flower (or vegetable) bed.

Smart pots are great if you don't have a permanent spot to garden or to use to expand an existing one. There are several sizes to fit any need.
