It's actually been a full two months since I've added anything to this darned blog.
Well, today I have something to say, so I hope someone is actually reading this..
It's not about all the rain, sleet, hail and even snow that have slowed the start of spring around here... It's not about politics, war or peace....
It's not about my new favorite TV shows (My Name Is Earl, The Office, Lost and Big Love on HBO) or the great new CD I bought this weekend (Songlines by the Derek Trucks Band) ...
It's about a tool company I discovered by accident while looking for just the right tool at Home Depot the other day. They're called Hound Dog Tools and they make a couple some well designed tools that I'd like to recommend.. if the ground ever dries out enough for you to use them...
Interesting story behind the company too.

The first is one I plan to use for installing low voltage lighting cable. They call it the Edge Hound, and it can be used to trim turf edges and/or install the kind of black plastic extruded plastic edging material that comes in rolls.

The second is one they call the Bulb Hound. It works like a traditional bulb planter but kind of crossed with a post hole digger, and with a comfortable molded plastic handle and trigger release.

Hound Dog Tools make a few other items, some of which look more practical to me than others, but truthfully all I've tried so far are the two I just mentioned.
Check them out at OSH, Home Depot or Ace Hardware stores.
And here's hoping the rain stops long enough for all of us to do something in the garden.
