A Bounty of Baskets

Baskets are an essential part of gardening, especially during harvest.   But with so many baskets to choose from, where does one begin?

Simple.  Think about how you plan to use your basket.  Workload matters.  Once you’ve decided on size and weight, how about style and functionality?  Many woven baskets start out well, but don’t tend to last. 

Waterproof baskets are a must in our garden.  Not only because there are kids involved, but because we must wash our vegetables prior to eating.  Never know who has been lurking in your garden…  For a general rundown on the selection process, check the Prize Picks section this month for a nice variety of baskets, ranging in both size and job description–and prepare for harvest!
