Father's Day Gift Ideas

Of course you can always thank your pops with a gift as well! While we always recommend supporting local businesses, I did happen to pick up a Fiskar WEED PULLING SHOTGUN, (On Sale presently for under $70!) that is easily one of the most handy garden tools I've picked up in a while. It makes removing dandelions and weeds a breeze, I was able to do my entire front yard in just a few minutes and it's fun / cool to use, even my toddler was getting in on the pump ejection action.
