ABSTRACT:
A gardening device facilitating the planting of seeds, bulbs or the like includes a platen member having two opposite sides and a plurality of pegs releasably secured to one side of the platen member so as to project therefrom. A carrying handle is attached to the other side of the platen member for facilitating placement of the platen member upon and removal of the platen member from the soil. When the platen member is placed one-side-down upon prepared soil so that the pegs engage the soil and a moderate amount of pressure is applied to the other side of the platen member and generally toward the soil, the pegs penetrate the soil so as to form indentations therein. Upon removal of the device from the soil in a manner withdrawing the pegs from the indentations, the indentations provide formed openings in the soil for accepting seeds or bulbs.
