Sara Kate likes blue. I like red. If you're a design head like me, and you love to garden or simply be in one with someone else gardening, you will eventually find the plain old American green garden hose cheap and oppressive. It was originally during a trip to Europe that I discovered higher quality red, black and brown hoses, which all seemed very stylish at the time and somewhat more fitting than the green ones. But the grass is always greener....

Nevertheless, non-green hoses have arrived in the states and I've got some good links for you. When we figure out which color (blue or red), we'll be ordering soon.
