why did a trowel and gloves make my chicago garden explode?
Last spring, I got a set of gardening tools as a gift—nothing fancy, just a sturdy trowel, some comfy gloves, and a watering can. I never thought much about gear before, but wow, it changed everything. Digging up weeds felt less like a chore and more like a mini adventure. My hands stayed clean, and I didn’t get any of those annoying blisters.
The best part? My tomatoes actually survived the crazy Chicago weather! I even started sharing fresh herbs with my neighbors. Turns out, the right tools make you want to spend more time outside, and suddenly, gardening feels way more fun than work. Now, every time I see those gloves, I remember how a simple gift turned my little patch of dirt into the happiest spot on the block.
