Hey friends! If you're dipping your toes into gardening (or tired of overbuying gadgets), we made this short video just for you. No fancy setup required — just the real essentials two midlife beginners actually use every single day.
We cover only five must-haves that keep things simple, affordable, and fun:
Containers — Grab a few different sizes (even old household ones!) for starting seedlings or collecting clippings and dead leaves so you're not running to the compost every minute.
Protective gear — A wide-brimmed hat, long sleeves, and comfy gloves. Sun protection + scratch-proof hands = way more enjoyable time in the garden.
Adjustable hose nozzle — Our favorite multi-tasker! Gentle shower for tiny herbs, deep soaker for roots, jet to clean tools, and mist to cool off on hot days.
Small hand trowel / shovel — Perfect for digging up crowded plants, making new holes, weeding, and transplanting without drama.
Gardening scissors/shears — Hands-down our most-used tool. Deadhead flowers (give 'em a quick haircut for more blooms), snip herbs, trim leggy bits — clean cuts every time.
We filmed this because we wish we'd had it when we started — no overwhelm, just practical stuff that works in small spaces, containers, raised beds, or wherever you're growing.
