outdoor living, outdoor campingWe put a high priority on outdoor living so when I find something as convenient as this 7 in 1 Plant Care Garden Tool Set, I snatch it up. The price was unbelievable too, so it went into my shopping cart without much consideration. This will be perfect when I'm maintaining our flower gardens that we enjoy so much when we're enjoying beautiful weather on our outdoor living patio. We have a screened in porch where I keep potted plants out of the sun and wind, and they require smaller tools than our garden plants do. This set includes a spray bottle to keep the dust off them, pruners, a small spade, a twig pruner, and the handy carrying case for everything.

I can keep this in a corner of the outdoor living patio where it will always be handy for the occasional work I do on the potted plants. They really add a lot of color and life to our porch, so I want to give them every advantage possible. We live in Phoenix where outdoor living is comfortable almost all year long. When we go up north for a visit or on a business trip when it's winter, we remark how much we miss the daily process of outdoor living like having coffee and tea on the patio, enjoying a lingering dinner over candlelight on the patio table, or just lounging back on a Saturday afternoon to read a book.

I found this garden care set online at Bridges Outdoor World at http://bridgesoutdoorworld.com/, a great site for outdoor living and camping gear. When we're not working in the yard or at work itself, we are planning our next camping trip because next to being outside during the week, we love to spend our weekends outdoor camping, too. Arizona is truly a wonderful place for outdoor camping and living all four seasons of the year. When it's too hot in the summer, we just drive up to the mountains and spend a weekend in the cool pines.

Even though Phoenix is hot in the summer, most of the time the evenings cool down nicely after sunset, which is one of the reasons that this state doesn't go on daylight savings time like the rest of the country. Believe it or not, most Arizona residents prefer not to add another hour of daylight so they can enjoy an extra hour after dark outdoors. After spending my first year in Phoenix, I learned to take advantage of the evening and early morning hours to get the yard work done, tend the plants and dust off the patio table so we can enjoy breakfast out in the morning before we close the house up for the day's heat.
