All I Want for Christmas is...

By , About.com Guide   December 9, 2009

Follow me on:

We've had our first winter storm and it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The roads are plowed and sanded and it's amazing how many people are taking advantage of the snow day to do their Christmas shopping.

I always find it easier to shop for other people than to come up with suggestions of what I'd like to receive for Christmas. Someone always gives me a gift certificate to a favorite nursery, which is wonderful. I have a hard time spending them though, because I want to buy something I'll have a long time, rather than a plant I may well kill in the first year.

What kinds of gardening gifts are you hoping for this year? Tools, plants, benches, gift certificates or maybe a load of compost? I'd love to hear your ideas.

I want a 4′, 8 T5 sun spectrum bulb lamp. I’m over wintering a 6′ rubber plant and a 3′ banana tree in my office. With lighting like that, I’ll be able to grow anything and it will feel like summer.

I love those. Set it up with a timer and it’s almost like having a greenhouse. I hope you get it.
