It's getting closer to that day, and I need some ideas!

GF loves to work outdoors. Any suggestions?

Can you be more specific?

ETA: Personally I’ve been wanting to get a heavy duty dump cart for my yard and garden work.

Some pots and pans so she can cook dinner when she gets finished in the yard.

She loves working in the yard, flowerbeds etc. Every tool I take out, she wants her turn at it, no matter what, saws, hand tools, buffer, drill, killer with a string trimmer, she non-damn stop.

Her biggest challenge is relaxing. My biggest challenge is relaxing when she's around.

A good wagon is a very good idea.


As far as pics, I'll leave you to your imagination, but she does have a great smile, nice butt and really big boobs.

Yard Glider I got my Dad a Yard Glider. No wheels it slides around so you can pull pots, limbs and other stuff to where it needs to go. Not sure if he is going to use it but I got him something.

Does she like garden decorations? I'm not a fan of the pink flamingos and such, but have come to appreciate some well done metal garden balance sculptures. They're free to move around and gently swing. Great thing is you can easily lift them off of where they balance on their pole (they usually come w/ the poles) when there's bad weather.

I picked up a gorilla dump cart this summer, and use the hell out of it. Can slide the handle back and hook to my mower or 4wheeler to move heavier stuff around, too. Moved a couple of yards of sand to level my yard and was wayyyyy easier than a wheel barrow. And there’s some great ryobi 18v hand tools for the yard out now too; trimmers, saw, blower, etc.

sounds like she is looking for an outlet to handle her stress. I'd be happy to help her out with the situation

A pair of Felco F-2 pruners. They’re Swiss made, can be taken apart and cleaned, sharpened. Love mine. They have other models if she’s a lefty or has small hands. They’re the most important thing I have in my garden. Be careful that you order from a reliable source to get the real thing. Other things you might consider - garden bench, beautiful bird feeder, bird house, bird bath or fountain, potting bench. It’s a wonderful hobby and adds so much to our home.

I married one like dat. Not good. Only time she can relax is when we are on vacation. If we are home, she's busting it in the yard 24/7. It's not as good as it seems. Get out now. This is not a drill.

Another pruner choice is Okatsune. They can be open and closed with one hand. You can pair them with a leather pouch as well
