So it must happen... Our natural desire for professionalism has caused us to set off the latest trend in gardening-a cocktail garden, a small piece of land in a manor that specializes in growing herbs, fruits and vegetables to make cocktails Become our current fun life. For those of us who can’t use the entire plot for blood oranges, limes and celery, Roger's Gardens Nursery proposes a good choice: a beautiful metal pot filled with herbs and edible flowers. It can be transplanted to the ground or left behind to grow into a fragrant riot. This Corona del Mar nursery only provides delivery services in Orange County, so you may need to go to the store to buy it, but it will be a fun trip, so you can also consider it as a small gift for yourself.

Building a yard that is friendly to pollinators means breaking the old rules about landscaping.

We are used to the classic orange poppies of Southern California, but Edible Gardens LA combines larger and more exotic varieties together, such as Jimi's Flag, Hungarian Blue Bread Poppy, Black Swan, Jimi's Purple Haze, Lucille, Rose Peony Poppy, Bridal Silk And big red poppies, they will fill the garden with huge, colorful, bee-friendly flowers. The owner, Lauri Kranz, recommends preparing the ground in early winter, but wait until it rains before planting. A good technique is to spread the seeds when it rains and then gently raking out a thin layer of soil on top. If you can’t wait for it to rain, make sure to pour the seeds fully into the soil to prevent birds from eating your future flowers. Seeds are $6, plus shipping.

More than one gardener used a shirt as a bag to hold the bounty in the garden and ruined it. Roo, based in Spokane, Washington, came up with a sturdy solution: a colorful canvas apron can hold a lot of anything you want to harvest, with an easy-to-release cord that allows you to gently pour the contents into the wheel bucket , Sink or bathtub. The apron comes in gray-green and bright purple, with a waterproof lining and extra pockets. Most importantly, they can be machine washed. Take that, juicy tomato sauce!

Okay, a 100-foot-long garden hose sounds boring, right? How to pack such a heavy and unwieldy thing? Ah, this is the meaning of this recommended gift. This Gardguard hose uses a polyester outer layer and a latex core, and the entire kit can easily fit into a smaller and lighter bag than a Christmas turkey. However, when you connect the hose to the faucet and turn it on, it will expand to a staggering 100 feet. I don't recommend dragging this hose through dirt and soil every day, but with its convenient nozzle and hanger, it is very suitable for watering plants on a terrace or a small garden space. After pouring, the hose will shrink to almost zero, so it is very easy to store. No more tripping over hard-to-coil hoses.

For anyone who has a bird bath, this is a simple but very useful and satisfying gift. Birds like flowing water, but setting up a traditional fountain requires $$ and a lot of work. This small solar fountain can move water in a bird bath without electricity or hoses. Put it in the bird bath, wait for the sun and watch the water start to flow. One selling point is that it has thin stabilizers to prevent it from moving to the edge of the bird bath and spraying water from the side. It comes with a nozzle and many fancy fountain options, but most reviews say it is best not to use a nozzle unless you want to fill the bird bath with water every hour. The best option is to use a fountain without nozzles, so the water is just bubbling gently, which is a sport that birds like anyway, and there is enough exercise to stop the annoying mosquitoes.

Even shade plants can show off their sunny side with Plant Good Vibes enamel pins. The company said that sunglasses, slimy eyes, caterpillars, etc. were all fixed in place by plant safety magnets.

Pro tip: Magnets have two advantages-try the weaker first, and we find that it is strong enough to complete this work.
