We also can't stop thinking about a tool that we just LOVE. CobraHead is the home of the original CobraHead® Weeder and Cultivator, a multi-purpose hand tool for use in gardening, horticulture, and agriculture. They also produce a stand-up hoe using similar blade technology, the CobraHead® Long Handle. Their tools are becoming known for both their usefulness and quality. CobraHead promotes small-scale food growing and markets their tools to help develop the knowledge of food gardening.

I hope you have all had a great start to your new year. This is truly a great time to hunker down, enjoy a hot cup of tea, and catch up on all of the reading that you don't have time for during Spring and Summer. I know that I have been busy starting my lists for Spring planting. It will be here before we know it!
