Mjz 4-Pack Peony Cages

I singlehandedly attribute the success of my peonies to this $26 investment I made years ago. This four-pack of peony cages comes out to $6.50 per cage, and each one comes with three twist-on legs. Push each leg into the ground at least four inches deep for the sturdiest results. Through the windiest gusts and heaviest rainfalls, these cages keep my peonies upright no matter how topheavy they get.

This 50-piece set of bamboo stakes took my veggie garden to the next level. You can buy them in multiple sizes with the 18-inch stakes starting at $10. With the help of these natural bamboo sticks, I’ve been training my bell pepper, jalapeno, and tomato plants to grow vertically. It maximizes space in my container garden, prevents ground rot, and increases yield. I also got a little stake-happy and started staking other plants around the yard, including a few peonies that needed a boost and some foxglove.


Perszen 80-Piece Support Clips

Bamboo stakes and cages are helpful, but only to a point, without plant support clips like these. Each green clip in this 80-piece set secures stems that need more support. You can use these clips to secure stems to each other or to a stake, netting, or fence. This set includes two different sizes: 1.6-inch clips for smaller stems and 2.3-inch clips for larger plants.


Jashem 10-Pack Melon Cradles

This 10-pack of plastic melon cradles was a lifesaver last year once my pumpkins started maturing late July. Each cradle provides a 2.36-inch boost off the ground that keeps pumpkins, melons, squash, and cantaloupes from rotting in the soil. It acts as a barrier so fruits don’t get as wet, and helps keep critters away, too.

Velcro Garden Ties

For a more customized gardening experience, plant velcro comes in a 50-foot tape roll so you can cut the length as needed. More than 10,000 have been purchased in the past month, with reviewers using them to support everything from zucchini, tomatoes, and basil to cucumbers and more. The velcro material is more flexible than traditional plastic ties, and the soft side doesn’t scratch or damage plants.
