Dig up. Er, eat up. Yeah. Worldwide Fred

Somehow, with the birth of my fifth child two and a half weeks ago, I have neglected my garden a bit. But when I sent the bigger children outside to gather up the bounty yesterday, they managed to haul in the makings of at least a few salads.

Salad fresh from the garden is a real treat. And what better way to serve it than with these garden salad tools from Fred and Friends? The fork and spoon are styled to look like a gardening rake and trowel.

The tools are crafted from bamboo in a natural finish, so they're earth-friendly and sustainable--you know, just like your garden. They're also low-maintenance and lovely, and every pair is packaged in a gift box.

This set, priced about $20, plus a couple of inexpensive seed packets, would make a fantastic hostess or housewarming gift.
