New Acquisition: Gardening Folk

Gardening Folk Spreaders made by Boston Warehouse, model number 12198, from 1999.

I found these on Ebay the other day for a decent price, and since I’m pining for all things spring, I had to have them. As a keen gardener myself, I appreciate the humor of these little gardeners: the woman on far left is weighed down by a tower of pots, a hose and a watering can; next is a man with both secateurs and loppers; following is a terrifying woman who obviously grows roses, based on her rose-covered hat and deadly pesticide spray bottle labeled “BugOff”; last is a veg-growing man with a huge squash, garden hoe, bag of fertilizer labeled “Mo Gro Super Poop” and sporting a “Mo Gro” hat. I can’t wait for spring!
