Joseph Joseph’s

I don’t know about you but I like to use products that look good and are fun to use. Products that show they went through a thinking process. The following products seem to fit the aforementioned category. I just discovered them so I’ve not heard of Joseph Joseph before.

According to the web site you can order their products and ship them to Belgium in 7 to 10 days. Not only the design attracted me but also their color usage, which shouldn’t be a surprise. What follows are the descriptions as I found them on their web site.

Elevate

The Elevate range of kitchen tools are designed to improve hygiene and minimize the mess made by placing mucky utensils onto kitchen surfaces.

Quirky teapot and coffee pot lights

Here’s a novel way to light a room in your home – with a teapot or coffee pot! This whimsical range of unusual lighting is inspired by 1930s tableware. Both the white teapot light and the white coffee pot light are made from fine bone china, finished off with a sturdy cotton braid, from which they are hung. The teapot light is Art Deco in style, with a noticeably angular handle, whereas the coffee pot light has more of a timeless appeal. If you fancy hanging these quirky lights in your home, then each one will set you back £95. They’re both available to purchase at Liberty.

Got Something to Say About Independent Garden Centers?

The organizers of the Independent Garden Center Show in Chicago were brave (or foolish) enough to invite all four of us here at GardenRant to come and host a panel discussion to “provide retailers with an honest picture of what a real gardening consumer thinks.”

So here’s your chance. What do you want us to tell a room full of independent garden center owners and employees about what YOU want, expect, like, dislike, in a garden center?

We have only one request.  Speak for YOURSELF.  Don’t tell us what you think OTHER gardeners might want or need.  Frankly, there’s a lot of that going around.  Every retail consultant in the garden center world claims to know what beginning gardeners, urban gardeners, Gen X gardeners, and women gardeners want. But

Blog Shelf

So many blogs to read, so little time.

With Google Reader helping me keep blog reading in an organized fashion, I’ve discovered an application on the iPad that offers another form of organizing my hobby of reading blogs.

Blogshelf is similar to eBooks in a format sense. As you can see in the photo, there are icons that represent each blog I read with an intro photo that helps you determine whether a particular blog has been updated.

When a blog has been updated, the first photo from the blog entry will be featured on the icon.

Although I lamented on Facebook last night how behind I am in blog-reading as well as keeping this site up-to-date, I have found Blogshelf to be an easy form of tracking my favorite blogs.

Cleaning up the dirt?

Potting media is one of those things I buy with very little pleasure. It often seems too expensive, the bags are heavy, and it gets used up all too quickly, no matter what tricks I employ (other empty pots in there taking up space, and so on).  And then I’m never sure which type I should get. The soil-less mix is mainly peat moss. Even though it’s recommended by most of the longtime gardeners I know, clearly peat moss—the harvesting of which destroys wetlands—is an at-risk resource. We’ve talked about that on this site before. And then t
