The last three things I bought for the garden.
The first is a metal rake
We have already replaced several plastic rakes. And they are not worth it.
The tines simply crack or break during use. They are up to three times cheaper than metal ones. But they can hardly last a season of intensive work. We already have a few smaller metal rakes, but I decided to get these larger ones.
They will help us in the garden to dig up weeds, break up the soil. And also to pick up leaves that were not picked up in the yard.
And I am also thinking in this direction to reduce the plastic I use, which is really a lot.

The second thing I picked for the garden is winter lettuce
We had planned to build a greenhouse, but our weather was misty, snow, frost.
We got a real winter like we had before. So that we wouldn't complicate our lives because we weren't ready to heat the greenhouse. My wife had already sown one round in the house, that didn't end well. But you should never give up.
We made a suitable place and sowed lettuce again.

The third thing I took was hummus.
Since everything is frozen outside, snow, frost and mud. It is difficult to get to the soil and garbage.
Since we wanted to plant, I had to buy a ready-made mixture. This mixture is intended for vegetables and flowers.
Although it is not the best, as it should be, this is all they had. In one part we have already sown lettuce, oregano and lavender.
And the rest, we will definitely use for something in the coming days.Our biggest problem is finding a suitable place for the plant in the house in winter conditions.

Thanks for reading.
Until next time.
Stay healthy.

If we ever garden in our lawn, we will need a motorized tiller. The ground is very hard and a rake and hoe will not due.
I think you'll have to use a shovel first.
My neighbor was working on part of my lawn. But first I had to dig up the soil with a shovel because it was too hard. Or wait after the rain when the soil dries out a bit.
metal rake is really helpfull. I always use for mix the soil effortless 😆
Yes, but they can also make us sweat a lot.
