Maybe you don\u2019t need more begonias or zucchini plants, but here are some must-have tools beginning gardeners need<\/i> to make life easier.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Flats of lemon-yellow marigolds or pink petunias, fragrant herbs, cherry tomatoes, and glossy purple eggplants\u2014sometimes beginning gardeners want to plant everything they see. And why not? Nothing beats fresh corn on the cob, sweet-scented lilacs, a flowering dogwood in the yard, raised beds of cucumbers and squash, or window boxes spilling over with ivies and impatiens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plants with eye-candy colors and delicious flavors are irresistible. When you\u2019re getting started, choose your favorites, and don\u2019t forget these five essential garden tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re working with sticky berry bushes or applying fertilizer around thorny roses, you need a great-fitting pair of breathable, lightweight gloves. Centurion\u2019s soft Garden Gloves<\/a><\/u><\/span> are made with flexible Spandex and a microfiber palm and first finger to protect your hands. Shirred elastic at the wrist means they won\u2019t slip off. When your gloves get grimy, toss them in a cold-water wash with mild detergent (separate microfiber products from other laundry), let them dry, and they\u2019re good to go again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that your hands are covered\u2014literally\u2014you\u2019re ready to dig into the soil. Centurion\u2019s 178 Big Grip Trowel<\/a><\/u><\/span> deserves a spot in every toolbox or garden shed. An extra-large handle makes it easy to use and comfortable to grip, and its lightweight aluminum head resists rust. The bright yellow handle makes this trowel easy to find if you misplace it in the garden and has a hole for hanging to store it.<\/span><\/p>\n

For bigger jobs, reach for Centurion\u2019s Shorty Shovel<\/a><\/u><\/span>. Its round point is ideal for digging and scooping or moving mulch, compost, and plants around the garden. Shoveling can be tough work, but this shovel is up to the task, thanks to its strong yet lightweight fiberglass handle and tempered steel head. It\u2019s just under three feet tall, so you can use it while working on your knees, toss it in the trunk of your car for emergencies, or pack it for camping.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once your plants start growing, keep them shaped up with Centurion Bypass Pruning Shears<\/a><\/u><\/span>. The lightweight grip adjusts for large or small hands, and the high carbon steel blades cut through branches up to an inch thick. Because the long-lasting blades are non-stick, they won\u2019t get caught in your cut.<\/span><\/p>\n

When your plants really take off, you\u2019ll need a durable lopper to trim and prune them. The heavy-duty Bypass Lopper<\/a><\/u><\/span> by Centurion tackles branches up to 1 \u00be-inches thick and your hands won\u2019t slide on the comfortable, cushioned grip. Can\u2019t reach tall trees and shrubs? This lopper has telescoping lightweight aluminum handles for better reach and leverage that extend to 33 inches.<\/span><\/p>\n
