Tool Time: garden calendar

You can't dig with it. And you can't use it to water your plants. But there may be no more functional "tool" for a gardener than a gardening calendar, complete with beautiful garden photos and monthly garden tips.

No less an authority than Horticulture magazine is ready with its 2011 calendar and you can purchase it now for $13.99.

The artwork was provided by the winners of this year's Horticulture Garden Art competition, and represent various mediums, featuring images of plants, flowers, landscapes and gardens.

Best of all? The calendar comes with an extra month!

This will be a great calendar I hope that there is something in it about bird houses. When you attract a bird into your bird house it is fun to watch the birds on a Nature Cam and save the video on your computer. The Kids really enjoy it and watch them for hours.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
