It is my weekend. I spent about 4 1/2 hours today getting caught up on pruning and tying of the maters. That works out to be about 4 minutes per plant. These are my main gardening tools. 1-pruning scissors...adequate but a bit too big. I think I should shop for some surgical scissors. 2- Vegibee and spoon. This is a big improvement over an electric toothbrush. Had a good set ratio last winter and this summer seems to be having the same success even though my neighborhood is somewhat lacking in bees. I might add some fine artist paint brushes to improve the technique of transfering the pollen back into the flower. 3- Jewelers tweezers. Meant to pick up diamonds it gives me the control to do blossom surgery without damage. I really dislike the errant sepals that grow into the middle of a blossom. 4- 8x magnifying visor. I am not saying I am getting old but a bit of vision assistance really makes a difference.
