In my long experience as an avid gardener, I've always appreciated the ready availability of reliable garden tools. It is quite frustrating to search for garden tools for half the time while in the garden. Equally irritating is to realize that the found garden tool isn't working as expected for some reason, e.g., jammed, rusty or dirty.
Gardening is supposed to be an enjoyable and relaxing experience and so I avoid getting into this situation especially on a daily basis. That's right. Everyday, it has been my early morning ritual to deadhead plants whether for spent blooms or unwanted shoots. Although deadheading can be done manually, I prefer to use a pair of garden pruning scissors.

Garden Scissors for Pruning and Deadheading
One of my early morning rituals as a gardener is deadheading flowering plants. I've often advocated this practice in several deadheading entries in this blog.
Deadheading involves cutting or removing spent blooms and this seemingly triggers the plant to produce more blooms. There's a better scientific explanation for this phenomenon, but suffice it to say that deadheading flowers puts the plant into a panic mode.
