FOUND: It s time to clean your gardening tools - You Need To See This

Ty Mecham / Food52

Maintenance. Not a very glamorous word, is it? But, before you start running away, let me reassure you that this is going to be a totally doable part of your plant-care routine that will become as second nature as "accidentally" buying more plants than you intended to. (This is a safe zone, no judgments. I'm right there with you.)

The spring and summer months are busy ones in the plant world. It's peak plant-growing (and accumulation, ahem) season after all! So, now is the perfect time to take care of your hardest-working tools before that green leafy distraction hits. This rings true whether you're planning on harvesting tomatoes or simply pruning your indoor houseplants.
