Spring beckons us outdoors and invites us to stroll around our gardens. We see the new growth and we take stock of what needs to be done to keep all our plants as healthy as possible. For the next few weeks, I want to compare the work of tending our garden to tending the garden of our hearts. Gardening requires tools , and those tools must be taken care of properly. They must be cleaned and many must be sharpened. Items needed will vary by tool, but we all need rags, alcohol, and oil. Some of you sharpen your own tools which adds sharpening devices and knowledge of angles to the list of things you need. Other tools need things like electrical cords and batteries. Not everyone would agree, but I consider gloves and sunglasses as must-have garden tools. Gloves protect my hands and ensure a firm grip. S unglasses keep me from squinting against the glare, and help me see what I'm doing. I don't want to lop off the wrong branch or uproot plants instead of weed
