- A gardener’s kneeler pad or cushion to keep knees dry and comfy.
- A dibber, to make holes when planting bulbs or seedlings.
- Natural gardener’s twine, for securing plants that need to be staked – tomato plants, for instance – onto supports such as bamboo or growing trellises.
- A gardening journal – such as the Moleskine Passions Gardening Journal (order one on www.kalahari.com) – to plan, keep a record and make personal notes and sketches.
- A decent hand treatment. Our favourite has to be the Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Recovery Kit with a brilliant exfoliator and a shea butter-based hand cream. Visit www.crabtree-evelyn.co.za for store information.
