I just received, with my papers – we still subscribe to both Toronto newspapers –  the Lee Valley flier. Now, most fliers come in the front door and go out the back!! I know I don’t need more clothes, or shoes, or furniture etc..etc.. However, I “brake” for gadgets. I don’t actually buy them, but I salivate over them, even if they aren’t for the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Speaking of kitchens, Lee Valley – garden and maybe kitchen supplier to the world – had a universal blade sharpener listed. I struggled hard to find a need for it, after all it was only $23.50. Now all the knives in my kitchen are dull – maybe even duller than the cooks :). However, I know that if you don’t sharpen a knife at the right angle, you actually do more harm then good. My life is a testament to the fact that, I could do more harm then good in most departments, so I skipped the sharpener.<\/p>\n

I was intrigued, though, by the potato pot<\/a> that lets you grow potatoes in a small area, then lift them, temporarily, out of the soil to see if they are “ready.” The pot was only $17.90. Yes, I know, I could buy several pounds of small potatoes for the price of one pot. However, it’s not about the savings. It’s about the entertainment, the drama, the fun! There I go, I’ve almost talked myself into one!!<\/p>\n

I also liked the glass and surface cleaner kit that’s ideal for car windows and their dusty dashboards. I have, though, given up on cleaning my 19-year-old Honda Civic. It’s too bad, because the tool came with 3 removable and washable cleaning pads and an extra “foot” for a quick change of pace (I couldn’t resist) – no that should be a quick change of the bottom of the tool for some extra cleaning, maybe. Did I mention that when I was driving my son to work one day, he pulled down the sun visor and decided that he really ought to go home and change – he was covered in dust. For a mere $26.50, I could, at least, have a clean conscience.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t even find a use for four very colourful Bottle-Top Waterers. These are tops that you screw onto a water bottle to give you either 1. a fine spray, 2. a drencher, 3. a weeder tip – whatever that entails! At a price of $7.50 for all four, I should just buy them for their brilliant colours.<\/p>\n

The pictures – my garden porn.<\/p>\n

Have a colourful day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
