Spring is nearly here, and if you’re anything like us, you’ve already started romanticizing your future as a graceful, sun-hatted gardening god or goddess. You picture yourself effortlessly pruning basil while sipping iced tea, your pet bunny hopping nearby, and the entire neighborhood wondering how your hydrangeas look that good.
The reality? You’re knee-deep in weeds, wearing a ratty T-shirt, and questioning why dirt somehow ended up in your underwear. But don’t worry — miracles are possible, especially when you have the right tools.
