Pike’s Original Maine Garden Hod
“What is a garden hod?” you are probably asking yourself. Well, thanks to our friends Scott and Sara who bought us one for a Christmas present, I now know. We now own a Pike’s Original Maine Garden Hod. It’s a harvest basket to help out in the garden. This summer we can collect all of the vegetables from our garden, and rinse them off and the clumps of dirt that may still be attached will fall through the holes. Apparently, these types of baskets were originally used to gather clams, and Scott and Sara love theirs. Hopefully this will put a stop to me using our re-usuable grocery bags for harvest and winding up with clods of mud inside them and eventually dirt in our kitchen!
Jake and our garden hod filled with toys.
The garden hod is currently being used as a tote for Jacob’s toys. He thinks it is really funny to pick up a basket this big and heavy, and likes to try to carry it around the house. Hopefully by the summer he will give it up to us because I think this will be very convenient and am really excited to try it out, thanks guys! This summer when we start using it I’ll try to remember to do a post on how we like it.

That's a really good idea! We've been looking for something like this.
By the way, I love it that Jake seems to have a lot of orange and black toys!

Those are really cool!
Dave and I are gonna hit the Garden and Home show next month, perhaps I'll nudge him into one of those for our garden this spring!
Very neat to help get the kids involved

Jake looks so big in this picture! I guess if he doesn't want to give it up this spring, you can at least hose off all of his balls and toys easily.

Jake is so cute! And hilarious that he has taken it over

Oh cool, maybe you'll have to try one too. Ha, yes he has a whole OSU ball set, basketball, football, soccer ball and he loves them all.

Hi Suzanne, thanks for the comment. I'm looking forward to checking out your blog more. I do think the garden hod is going to be very handy! The Garden and Home show sounds fun we might have to check that out this year.

Ha, that is true, the probably could use a good hosing off!

Hey Steph, sorry I haven't talked to you in so long. I have been forgetting to check your blog and then found that you had made lots of new entries!! Jake looks really big with his haircuts, and that garden hod looks pretty cool!
