After spending, oh, the past six months cloistered in your lovely, if claustrophobia-inducing, little home, nothing can keep you from getting out and digging in the dirt this weekend. But one look at your cobwebby garden gloves and that hideous planter your mother-in-law gave you last Christmas, and you know that a makeover's in order. Here are a few of our new faves this spring. We can't guarantee they'll make your garden grow, but they'll look good while you try. - HOLLY BECKER
