During this time of year, I don't get to work in the garden at all. Saturday morning's temperature got down to -8 degrees Fahrenheit!
Most people don't think much about gardening in the Winter but I think about gardening MORE when I can't get out there much. To get my fix, I spend a lot of time on the internet looking at seed companies and garden product company websites. I'm always looking for the next great product like Great Big Plants or the Table Top Gardener that will make my life easier.
I also look at stores and online for "fun" gardening items like The Eye Grow or the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter. This is the category that I'm about to add to.
I have found a great website that offers all sorts of gardening t-shirts sweatshirts, hats, coffee mugs, mouse pads, stickers and anything else that they can print on. I'm most interested in getting a fun Garden-related shirt. I've now looked through hundreds of choices on their site and have narrowed down my favorites to these two shirts:

These are from CafePress, who has thousands of items covering all sorts of interests and hobbies. I'm just glad one of those interests is gardening.
If you've been to my blog before, you may have noticed that I write a lot about tomatoes and my favorite thing to grow is heirloom tomatoes. That's why the Heirloom Tomato Gardener shirt is perfect for me. I also really like the
My Office shirt because it really fits my Garden Desk theme!
I was stuck on how to decide which one until I found this:
I like this better because I can wear it even more often than the shirt. If I get this I'll be in my office Cap, then I can get the heirloom tomato shirt.
The problem with looking at a store for too long however, is that the longer you look, the more likely you will find something else you want! They have more than one heirloom tomato shirt!

Which one should I get?!
It was fun looking through all of the selections at CafePress. The only complaint I might have is that the searching is a bit difficult. The items are organized more by the artist or supplier of the shirts than by category. It took a lot of searching different terms to come up with what I was looking for. If you are looking for something in particular, don't give up too soon.
Since it is a little hard to get around on their site, I thought I'd share a bunch more of my favorites with you. Here are some other designs that appeal to my gardening interests:

All of their shirts come in several different sizes, styles and colors. I wish I knew about these shirts before Christmas because they have some great gardening shirts for ladies too that I could have given as gifts. Here are just a few that I like:

They even have gardening shirts for little kids.

If you, or someone you know are particular about your lawn and how the grass is cut, then CafePress has some pretty funny shirts for you.
|
|
|
|
There are even items for all the sub-categories of gardening that I enjoy, like pumpkin growing and worm composting!
|
|
There are so many selections that I could go on all day! I have to stop somewhere though. If this sort of thing interests you, I recommend you look around at CafePress a little. I know I had fun on their site.
I will leave you with this humorous look at both sides of the vegetarian debate.

I tend to side more on the Eat Veggies side, but both shirts are funny. I am now going to buy my Heirloom Tomato Grower shirt... But which one? Hmmmm. :)
Remember, All CafePress T-Shirts are 20% off now until March 3rd!
