Martha Stewart is that you??? Oh no, it’s just YOU!

Is that you and your green thumb I see stepping out into the spring sunshine??? I thought so! Well, you'd best grab a fresh set of sturdy gardening gloves, some supportive Velcro garden tape, a cordless grass trimmer, and a slew of colorful flower pots before ya dive into this year's outdoor gardening projects!

Promising review: "These long garden gloves are perfect for working with thorny plants. The extended length covers your forearms, making it easy to reach deep into bushes or trees without getting scratched. They’ve been especially great for picking fruit from the back of my lemon tree. Durable, comfortable, and very practical." —Murphy

Promising review: "I use this on so many of my plants — indoors and out. Outside in spring, this holds iris blooms off the ground when the buds are too heavy for the stems to hold up. After blooming, it holds all the leaves back so nearby plants can get some sun. It holds my heavy monstera leaves up and the aerial roots close to the moss pole. When you give pothos vines something to climb up, the leaves will grow bigger and faster, and this works so great for that purpose. Best of all, it somewhat blends in, and it’s gentle on stems and aerial roots. I will continue to buy this every time I run out. Absolutely recommended!" —Christina Johnson

Promising review: "I have a standard weeding tool (long, slim metal tool with a forked tip and wood handle) that would bend when I put too much force on it or plunged it in the ground too deep to dig out those monster weed roots. I was looking for something sturdier.

It feels very solid in my hand with no flex or give when I plunge it into the ground and pry up on it. The photos show me using it on a large agave I removed; the serrated edge was perfect for cutting the fibrous roots and quickly dislodging dirt from within the root ball back into the hole for replanting. It will similarly perform well when removing new plants from larger pots; it will easily break up the soil for planting. I plan to get years of use out of it." —Martin

Promising review: "Added this to my new pallet planter and urn for the first time. I’m pleased with how much it absorbs water and expands, holding moisture. I’m hoping it lasts the season. We will see 👀👍🏻 I’ll be adding it to my other planters as well." —Jennifer J- Ace Of Space

Promising review: "Decided to give these spikes a try, and let me tell you my azaleas are the star of my garden right now. The blooms are bigger, the pink is brighter, and the blooms last way longer. Typically, they bloom and they fall off quicker than you can get to cut and make a beautiful bouquet out of them. The blooms have been popping open wider and wider, and it’s been three weeks now. I will definitely buy this again. The pic to the left shows the blooms from two years ago, and the second one is this year." —KWheatle

Note: You have to poke a hole in the handle of the jug as a vent so the water can flow through freely. Granny Geeks is a small business based in Oxford, Georgia that sells a variety of 3D-printed items.

Promising review: "I love the idea, the actual product, and the seller who stands behind it. Quick shipping and the tips the seller sent me were very helpful. I very much enjoyed the handmade shipping box that sends the message of 'recycling' very well." —Akeha

Promising review: "This tool is awesome and it lasts a long time for trimming around your plants. I love it and recommend for any one who needs to trim around their plants and/or vegetable tree. Mine is a banana tree and was not kept trimmed around it but after getting this tool I'm able to trim around without damaging or making a mess around it." —IC

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Planted a handful of the seeds in our front lawn area. Few months later, and we had a spectacular color array. Great flowers!" —Shane

Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a family-owned small business based in Oregon that makes gardening tools.

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

Our Home and Garden editor Sally Elshorafa invested in this tool and LOVES it: "After moving to the East Coast, I quickly learned that the stone pathways around my home are basically a spa retreat for moss and weeds. The cracks collect moisture, trap organic debris, and offer *just* enough shelter to help unwanted greenery flourish, especially with all the shade and rain we get. I didn't want my outdoor space to turn into a jungle, so I grabbed this tool and got to work. It's weirdly satisfying — kind of like flossing, but for your stone paths. The bent tip slides right into the cracks and pulls weeds out from the root, which helps keep them from coming back anytime soon. I've used it on my pathways, driveway, and anywhere else something tries to sprout where it shouldn't. The handle is comfortable, and it doesn't take much effort to use. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites. If you've got hardscaping, you need this in your toolkit." 

Promising review: "Lots of deer. I wouldn’t have any flowers without Liquid Fence!! Thank you. I’ve been using your product for many, many years. Best product on the market!!" —Phyllis

Get it from Amazon for $23.47 (available in liquid or granules and in different sizes).

Reviewers mention it's worth using this product with a water hammer arrester.

Promising review: "These timers have been around for a long time. My dad used them for his garden for years without any issue. The batteries last a long time in these things as well. I’m able to program what days of the week to water, how frequently (every 12 hours twice a day), and how long to water each time. Then just leave the faucet on, and you’re good to go. If you want to do another watering on hot days or use the hose for another purpose, just click the manual button to trigger a manual watering; no need to disconnect." —Taylor

Promising review: "These are adorable. I love the colors. They're lightweight and won't hold more than one or two flowers, but they're perfect for the project I did." —JDub

Get 10 from Amazon for $18.99 (available in three styles).

Promising review: "I have hesitated for years to buy a hedge trimmer but took the plunge on this one. I am pleasantly surprised; lightweight, easy to handle, cuts my shrubs back easily, and trims my 10-foot tall Cyprus cedar with ease!! I'm 76, wish I had bought one years ago!!" —George Goddling

Promising review: "I purchased these as a gift for my mother, who gardens extensively. She thanked me again for them today, declaring that these were the best pruners she has ever owned (she has been at it for over 50 years). She cuts the branches off her trees and shrubs, then further trims them into small sections to fit in the recycling trash bags. It is her great joy to work in the yard, made even more pleasant through the use of these pruners." —A. Kelly

Promising review: "Light, easy to use for pruning my trees, but sturdy. Pruning is effortless. So well-engineered. I can't recommend these enough. And they're affordable. My favorite garden tool is now. I don't like heavy tools that I can't maneuver or that hurt my hands. This is perfect." —Patsy

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five styles).

I have similar garden beds in my yard! I like how it showcases the vegetable garden itself rather than just digging a spot in our lawn. We had success with our veggies last year, so my husband and I invested in a third planter for this year.

Promising review: "This raised bed is very affordable. The bed looks thin and flimsy at first, but once it is set up, it is very sturdy, even though it is very light to carry around empty. I also appreciate that this is foot tall and not too shallow, unlike some other raised beds being sold. This is an excellent product, and I would recommend it highly for what you are paying for." —JT

Get it from Amazon for $59.98+ (available in six sizes).

Promising review: "I sprinkled it on my lawn, expecting the usual patchy disappointment. Next thing I know, my yard is looking like it belongs on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens. The neighbors suddenly started waving at me, dogs come by just to roll in it, and I’m pretty sure my mailman lingers just to admire the turf. It grew so fast I half expected it to start paying rent. 10/10 would recommend — unless you like being the only person on the block without a golf course in front of your house." —Kayla Mom 

Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in five sizes). 

Promising review: "This model is definitely a cut above the other spreaders made by Scott. It is well constructed and has many nice features, such as a large hopper, four drop holes, and dual spreader mechanisms. The wheels on this are very nice as well, and the edge guard feature works well. Very easy and effective to use, and should provide years of use if maintained properly. Beats the pants off of every other spreader I have used. And it's attractive to boot!" —Gila Monster

Get it from Amazon for $44.98+ (available in four styles). 

It also comes with a measuring stick called a dibbler that pushes down the dirt to the correct depth for you to drop your seeds. The holes are color coded to let you know exactly where to plant seeds of different varieties.

Promising review: "Love this thing! I have been gardening for a while and this takes all of the guess work out of spacing. I used this for the first time this spring using the planting chart/guide and it has worked out perfectly. I have had little to no weeds (I mean come on, you're gonna get some weeds). Planting per the Seed Square will for the most part choke out the weeds, while promoting growth for the plants. I even used this to plant growing plants and not just seeds. Just put the square on the ground used the stick to mark the spot and dug a hole where it was marked. Simple enough. Would highly recommend. Super easy!" —Jennifer Geisel

WoodNSparks Co. is a small business based in Montana, making wooden garden makers.

My Little Belleville is a small business based in Salt Lake City, Utah that sells kitchenware, stationery, and other home goods.

Promising review: "Such a fun way to add more of a thrill into our gardening skills. One set was for my daughter and one for a friend who shares the green thumb phenomenon. Adorable designs." —Barbara

Get them from My Little Belleville on Etsy for $17.25 (available in seven styles).

Promising review: "If you're like me, I typically ditch the gloves when I'm weeding because I can't get a good hold on the smaller weeds. Not with these gloves! They help me dig up those small weeds quickly. I thought I'd have a hard time picking things up because of the claws, but no. They make weeding so much quicker, and save my nails and hands in the process." —MomOfR&D

This device uses scent-free repellent mats containing naturally occurring plant-based repellents to repel mosquitoes.

Promising review: "I love Thermacell patio shield! Being able to enjoy the outside without being harassed by mosquitoes or other bugs. I noticed a difference in my backyard immediately, especially since I have standing water in certain spots when standing outside with my dogs. I have also used this at my kickball games at night while waiting and no mosquitoes bites. Easy to refill and easy to work for bug defense outside." —Raleigh919

Promising review: "I bought a couple of different soaker hoses, and this is the best by far. Unlike the rubbery ones that are heavier and more difficult to intertwine and stay where you place them within your plantings, these are easy to curve around, reposition, or remove. They have clamps to securely connect the hose ends, helping prevent leaks or breaks. By comparison, the other kind that has the texture of recycled tires, without clamps, leaked at the connection points and disconnected/failed, resulting in the separation of the hose from the hose ends. Any leaks tend to negate the whole purpose of the soaker hose. In contrast, this style and brand provide a steady, consistent drip along the hose, exactly what I want. So far, durability has been good, and the hose will fold up nicely for storage during the winter months." —Gail

Promising review: "These are the best knee pads I have ever used. They allow me to stay on my knees for an extended period of time without getting uncomfortable. I have worn them for 9-hour working days without any issues with fit, adjustment, or comfort. They have great cushioning and are very comfortable, but in my opinion what really makes them better than most other knee pads on the market is the fact that they have two adjustable straps with slip buckles instead of one of the straps being Velcro. —Shannon Huett

Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "Have used this for about three weeks, watering flowers, grass, and washing cars. Have used it almost every day in some way or another. It's very light, easy to maneuver, and doesn't kink. However, I think that's because I followed the directions on the box for unwinding it for the first time. When I was first unraveling, it kinked in multiple places, so I had to carefully unravel and lay it out fully extended before I even hooked it up to the water source. Has been kink-free ever since." —Sean Cotter

Get it from Amazon for $11.57+ (available in seven sizes).

Promising review: "I bought this garden kneeler for my husband, and he absolutely loves it. It’s perfect for kneeling, comfortable, and protective on his knees. The side supports are a huge bonus; he uses them to help stand up, and they make a noticeable difference. When you flip it over, it becomes a stable little stool that has been surprisingly helpful for working at a comfortable height. I also really like the small holders on the sides for storing tools. Very convenient! It was easy to assemble, feels very durable, and has already become a fantastic gardening companion for both of us. He’s very happy with it, and I’m impressed by the quality." —Traci

Get it from Amazon for $49.97+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "These plant supports each consist of two semicircles that fit together to encircle the plant. I have two snake plants that are getting taller and need support. These plant stakes are working perfectly. They can be easily inserted into the soil to the desired height, and their green color obscures their appearance. My plants look prettier and stronger now that they are standing tall." —A.Consumer

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $13.59+ (also available in an eight-pack).

Promising review: "This is a lovely carry-all. I bought one as a gift and then bought a second one for myself. Plan to use it when I harvest my veggies. The large size is perfect for my potato crop." —Janice Cavalli

Get it from Terrain for $78+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I got this for my elderly parents. They always put out a small garden. I thought this would be perfect for them to gather and carry their vegetables in. Another good part is you can rinse them in it, too! My mom said it was too pretty to use for that, but she uses it. It’s convenient!" — Samantha Bastin

Promising review: "I purchased it for my mother as a gift and I absolutely love the product. Huge variety and very affordable price! The package looks great, and each seed bag is individually labeled along with a QR that takes you directly to all the information you need pertaining to that type of vegetable. Love it." —V. G

The set includes a hand trowel, transplant trowel, and cultivator hand rake. Each tool has a nonslip ergonomic handle to make long hours of planting easier!

Promising review: "Purchased these since several other brands/types that I've used over the years just bend when any pressure from digging is done. If you want something that can dig in regular soil rather than potting blend — these are for you." —Joe in MO

The set includes a fork, a shovel, and a pruner, all made of stainless steel.

Promising review: "This plant food is truly magical. It’s also easy to use. I just sprinkled it over the soil and watered the plants. All of a sudden, my cactus grew a baby cactus; my sword lily, which hasn’t been doing well, produced a new flower; and my snake plant, which over the four years that I’ve had it has never grown a new leaf, now has a few baby leaves coming out. I am so impressed with this product." —Irina C

Promising review: "Highly recommend buying these bamboo sticks. I used them to make tomato cages and also to provide support for my climbing vines. They are long enough and quite sturdy. They also look natural. I do not like the sight of metal or plastic tomato cages in a garden. So these blend in harmoniously with all the other plants in my garden" —S R

One reviewer even used the cedar pathway material to repurpose their outdoor lounge chairs!

Promising review: "We are using outdoors at an animal sanctuary. The cats love to sleep on them and they do keep the wetter pathways dry under your feet. They are lasting quite well and although not cheap by any means, they are standing up to cats and people walking on them all day long. They are surviving both rain and sun and wind. We will be purchasing more." —susan osako

Promising review: "I bought this for my mother, who has been an avid gardener for over 30 years. It was specifically a Mother's Day gift, but it really would be such a wonderful and thoughtful gift for anyone who likes to plant, garden, and accessorize with vintage charm. Its size is about to my knee (I'm 5-foot-6) and VERY sturdy. My mother has it outside on our porch for her herbs. It doesn't take up much space but can easily be indoors or outdoors. It's currently part of her outdoor patio furniture grouping and looks charming. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to bring a little smile to any planter or gardener in your life." —Jennifer J.

Promising review: "I bought a new home in the woods and haven’t really gardened before. The previous owners already had a very impressive garden. Me being new to the scene, I wanted to learn as much as possible to keep up my garden beautiful, fresh, and healthy. This book has everything a first timer like myself could need. From plans, designs, sowing, pruning etc. I was also excited about the fruit and vegetable section, as I plan to grow my own. I definitely recommend the Complete Gardener’s Guide book. It just arrived today and I’ve been flipping through bunny earring pages all night. Excited to prune my rose bushes tomorrow after reading the section on them." —QueenJ
