    11. A pair of self-watering plant bulbs that'll help you keep your plants alive, if you're a little forgetful (or lazy). They'll slowly feed your plants for up to three weeks, so you can set 'em and forget 'em.

    16. A vertical planter that'll help you use up as much space as possible, if you've got a small garden (or even if you've just got a balcony). It's made of five separate stackable pots, so you can buy a couple and make them as tall as you'd like.

    17. A pair of heavy-duty pruning shears that'll help you trim, propagate, and manage all of your wild-growing branches and stems. The handles are ergonomic and coated with a non-slip material, and the overall cutting experience will beat dollar store pairs any day.

    18. A pack of heirloom seeds that are carefully selected just for Canadian climates and will grow in just six inches of soil.

    19. A portable greenhouse that'll protect your new sprouts or delicate species from the elements, while still letting in air and sun. It'll help you control the environment that your plants grow in and can easily be stashed away in the winter.

    20. A copy of the Vegetable Gardener's Handbook by the Old Farmer's Almanac that'll teach you how to properly care for any type of veggie.

    23. A pack of bamboo plant tags that'll help you remember what you're growing and where. Bamboo won't contaminate your soil unlike some metal or plastic labels would, since it's a natural material.

    24. A gathering tote that'll help you carry all your fresh pickings with you into the house. Since it has a slotted bottom, it'll also double as a colander, meaning you can wash your fruit and veg right after your pick it.

    25. A roll of plant-tying material that'll help keep your twiggy plants upright. Unlike zip ties, it'll actually stretch while your plants grow, and after about two years, it'll naturally break apart and decompose right into the soil.

    26. And lastly, a compost tumbler that'll help you make use of all your kitchen scraps, bringing them full circle. It'll help you create your own nutrient-rich fertilizer that'll make your garden flourish.
