Garden Gear

Over the last year and a half Erin and I have been working hard to convert our backyard into an outdoor kitchen/living space and the front yard into a mini-farm.  We have been documenting the process over at Reluctant Homeowner. I did not realize how much I would enjoy caring for a garden, digging dirt, pulling weeds and raking! I love raking, it reminds of shoveling snow back in Chicago.  I don’t mind working in the rain, getting dirt on my face, transplanting plants multiple times, digging for hours…I’m a trooper, a team player, in it to Win It kind of gal. The only thing that bugs me about all this is how awkward and fugly the clothes I wear  for yard work are. To correct this situation I have designed a small collection of gardening gear that satisfies my need for comfort, function, and fashion. Below is a quick little peek into the collection.
