One of the fun things about being a gardener to me is getting to buy little gadgets and gizmos to make gardening and harvesting easier. Since I am new to the gardening game, I am slowly building my collection. I have gotten 3 new items this week that I hope work well for me.
The following were purchased from amazon.com
Corn Brush - This is a corn/vegetable brush I bought for desilking corn cobs and cleaning things like carrots.
Corn Cob Cutter - This is a corn cob cutter that I can't wait to use in a few more weeks. I will give a full review after using it.
Food Scale - This is a food scale to keep up with pounds harvested during the growing season. Watching Granny's and Daphne's Monday harvest posts gave me the idea to do this. I have built a simple spreadsheet and I hope I am disciplined enough to keep it updated. I used the scale tonight and it works well, I like that I can automatically zero out the weight of the bowl that I am weighing stuff in. I hope to have my harvest totals on my site soon.

I so need that scale. Really. Mine only weighs up to 4 1/2 pounds, and no fractions of ounces. I had to weigh the butternut squash on my digital bathroom scale last fall, and I left it out on the patio. It rained that night, and my $45 scale was kaput, never to weigh again.
So far I like it. The reviews on Amazon were so good I took a chance. It does grams, kilograms, ounces, and pounds with just the push of a button. I would recommend it.
I love shopping for gardening gadgets. I guess they just fuel my obsession. I love the scale. I don't weigh each harvest, but sometimes wish I did so I could compare harvests from year to year.
I REALLY want a scale. I am a math teacher and would love to see the numerical proof! LOL!
GrafixMuse, I feel the same way about gardening gadgets. I hope to be able to compare from year to year if I can be disciplined enough to keep up with it.
Cindy, it is nice when you can put tangible data behind all the hard work you put into your garden.
