On The 11th Day of Christmas-Citrus Guy Style

     Tomorrow, for the 12th day of Christmas I will have the biggest, bestest, nicest, gift of them ALL!
But first, for the 11th day of Christmas, let's bunch together the first 10 days in a neat little basket.

On the 10th Day of Christmas, we discussed little stocking stuffers.
On the 9th Day of Christmas, we discussed saving all that great food.
On the 8th Day of Christmas, we discussed gardening magazines.
On the 7th Day of Christmas, we discussed gardening memberships.
On the 6th Day of Christmas, we discussed indoor garden kits.
On the 5th Day of Christmas, we discussed organic pest products.
On the 4th Day of Christmas, we discussed garden fertilizers.
On the 3rd Day of Christmas, we discussed finding camellia plants.
On the 2nd Day of Christmas, we discussed many seed vendors.
On the 1st Day of Christmas, we discussed finding citrus plants.
On Black Friday we discussed The Citrus Guy's Books.

     So, how do we put ALL of this info into one neat little basket?
By putting them all in a NEAT LITTLE BASKET, of course!!

These are just a few ideas that I found on Pinterest. You can very easily use any of the links/ideas that I have been talking about for the past 11 days or more and create something special for your gardener.

This is again a Pinterest idea I saw. You can add some pretty artificial flowers, fruit or vegetables to yours to make it that much more personal.

     It does not even need to be a "basket" a pretty colorful pot, pail or bucket would work. What about a wheelbarrow, or utility cart? The only limits would be your imagination.

I hope you have enjoyed these Christmas gift ideas for your gardener. I enjoyed....what?
I didn't do the whole 12 days of Christmas? This only day 11?
Tomorrow is not here yet my friend.
The best always comes last!

On The 10th Day of Christmas-Citrus Guy Style

     Today, we will discuss a few smaller items that might be good for Stocking Stuffers or if you just need a small gift. These are miscellaneous things that, while by themselves may not seem overly exciting, they can and WILL be very useful! (Amazon Affiliate Links Alert)

 

#1-4" Plant Tags-

My mother may disagree with me on this, but, tagging plants is very important! Especially when you have multiples of the same thing planted, i.e. seeds in pots. You need to know whether that little thing coming up is a carrot, fennel, tomato, or a weed. These multi-color tags are ideal for grouping things into different categories. All of your peppers could be blue, tomatoes red, etc.

#2-Twist Tie Roll-

This handy roll of 328 feet of coated twist tie material is ideal for tieing up tomatoes or other plants that are rather sprawly. Having a roll of this material with a handy cutter makes it easier to use as much or as little as you need for any particular job.

#3- Aluminum Plant Tags-

These tags are designed more for already established plants. I use them on all of my citrus, camellias, and fruiting plants. These plant labels are made of high-quality aluminum material, which is sturdy and durable, can be used for years in any environment. They are Waterproof and Sun Resistant and your label is permanent and remains legible for years. You have plenty of space to write on with a ballpoint pen, pencil, or another sharp object.

     Your gardener will love these little items. Again, they are not very sexy by themselves but believe me, they DO come in handy!

On The 6th Day of Christmas-Citrus Guy Style

     On the 6th day of Christmas, we will discuss a little indoor gardening. There are many folks that want.....no, scratch that.......NEED to garden all year long! Sadly, if you live in parts of the north, you may get one good week of gardening a year. (I am, of course, joking)

     Today's gift ideas are for those that LOVE herbs, want to do more year-round gardening, or perhaps, can't get outside to garden anymore and truly miss it.
     Indoor Garden Kits are lots of fun and can even be educational for those kids and grandkids that want to learn more.
     (As I have mentioned before, these are Amazon affiliate links, I do make a small percentage off of them.) I have also actually tested all of these out and wrote a review ARTICLE on them.

#1-Click and Grow Smart Garden- Love gardening but your space is limited? Get yourself this self-watering garden. Ideal for indoor use, either on the kitchen counter, window or living room. Place it anywhere you want and grow your favorite plants and herbs all year long!

#2- AeroGarden Harvest- Grows Naturally in Water, 5X Faster Than Soil.
Save yourself the hassle and mess of growing indoors with soil. You'll use less water and your plants will grow faster, getting everything they need from the water and plant food in your AeroGarden.

This was Buttercrunch lettuce after only 10 days in this thing.

#3- Ideer Life-Indoor Gardening Kit Hydroponics Growing System Kit w/Natural Bamboo Frame- If you go and read the Review Article that I wrote, this was going to be a link to my favorite one. Sadly, everywhere I looked they are temporarily unavailable. Keep checking the link from the article, hopefully they will have it back in stock soon!

     There you go, no geese a-laying, though the last item is a big Goose Egg for right now. Reminds me of the Cabbage Patch Dolls from the '80s
