Ciscoe says the best tools cost a bit more but are worth it. #newdaynw
Now, here’s something else that’s also pretty magical Cisco Morris. It’s gift giving season. And if you have a gardener in your life, this master gardener has a few gift ideas that we’re gonna talk about today, which we love, we love having you on and we love talking gifts. So you have some gift ideas. We wanna get going with your first one digging spade, which is this. So if you’ve got a gardener in your life, you wanna give him a digging spade. This is gonna be interesting to wrap. I gave one of these to my old TV partner Megan and instead of using it for gardening, she hung it up in her house as a decoration. Oh La la. But uh you wanna get one with a solid uh stainless steel shank because the ones that screw in have screws that go and those are cheap. Fork out the big box. This is for your special gardening friend. You know, and what is this difference between this and like a shovel? Is there a difference? Yeah, shovels usually come in like this. This is like uh this angle so that you could divide perennials all kinds of things. When you get one, you’ll find so many ways to use it. This is such a good tool. And, uh, this, I’ve had this since 1978. No way. It looks so pristine, it’s so clean. It’s been run over by two. back hoes still keeps, keeps on ticking, keeps on ticking. You know. So, and you said the top quality matters. So spending a little more on this is the big box for this. Ok. And next up we’re going hand pruners have big bucks. 131 bucks at the nursery I just saw. Yeah. Do you believe that? No. And you think this is worth the higher price though? These are the top quality, uh, p you can get, ok. So if you got someone you really care about, give them a pair of ease, you know, and, uh, it might look like a stalking stuff. But no, this is, you know, and I never go out the door without my pruners at home when I’m in the garden. And I, and so buy a whole c, this has got one thing wrong with it. There’s a little duma flat here that locks it. Well, if you lock it all the time it wears out and then every time you cut it locks and you can’t get it out, it drives you nuts. Never lock it, don’t lock it. And, you know, this looks so snazzy. Well, I like it, you know, a good pair of pruner is like a six gun back in the old West. Sleep with this under my pillow. You’re my hero and you have some other pruners too. What is this one? And nobody has these things. I’ve never seen that. I’ve seen the other ones. We have the websites you can get most of these things on. So, so, uh, hey, you wanna do it. This is special. It holds the thing that you’re cutting and then you can throw it in the bucket. So I’ll hold this and then I’m just gonna wait. Now. You, you gotta do one thing. You have to have it tilted the right way. If you do it this way, it just falls off. It’s gotta be this way. You get used to it. I’m like, I don’t know, I don’t know. Ok, here you go. Oh, wait. That was that cut. Really? Well, the big part I know I didn’t want to ruin it and then that holds it. You drop it right in the bucket. So you prune roses you don’t get all. Yeah. And when you want a deadhead plant, you don’t have to walk in the garden. You just reach out and it’s light as a feather. It is. They last forever. This is ok. I, this is a good gift idea for a lot in my life. Ok. We have a dram hose, nozzle. What’s this? I know most people go. You’re gonna give your favorite garden person, a hose nozzle, they’re gonna leave. But I love these, they’re so solid. They last forever. Just don’t pull the hose with the hose nozzle. On the end. People do that wears them up. But if you don’t, they last forever and, uh, look at a single touch and so you could put it whatever pressure you want, just keep going. And this one’s got all kinds of settings. The angle, look at all the shower range. I like the one that only has two settings. The best options. Yeah, but I love these things and I, I blast the bugs off my plants. I do. That looks nice. Ok. And look at this knife. What is this garden knife? When I come out with this? The weeds actually start to shake in fear. Of course. I mean, look at, look at the edges on that. Yeah, this, uh, this uh hori hori knife is, I dig it and it’s super strong. You could pull out, you could pull a tree out of the ground. It’s great for weed. And you know where I carry it right in my backpack. I was gonna say you don’t sleep with this one in my back pocket. My wife sees that she goes, you’re gonna kill yourself. You’re gonna sit down, I’ll tell you it hasn’t stabbed me once in 72 years. So, ok, I wanna get to the next one. What are green jeans? What in the world are these fashion, high fashion. There’s something, you know what’s really funny. The guy that makes these, gave me a parody, a gun talk. I was doing, hoping I’d advertise them and stuff. I put him on, my wife saw him and she goes, you look like a dork, but look at the padding on the knees like that was, that was legit. Well, I wore these knee pads and, uh, they pinched a nerve in my leg because of the things were too tight. So now I only use these, there’s nothing that goes around your knees and, uh, they just, that those knee pads so you can go right in and work. You know, some people use those pads, you kneel on this, these things and they’re pretty thing. Hi f look, they go out, they do. They have to, I’m gonna wear these to break and if this tells you to buy it, just buy it. We’re here for you in your gift giving.

Ciscoe is a national treasure.
Well, Ciscoe does look like one of Santa's Elves. So this is a perfect segment. Added in edit: and he knows when to call a spade a spade and not a shovel.
