They have a website, podcast, videos, articles, and books under the brand name, Spoken Garden. They are all about educating and helping people learn how to garden and they devised an ingenious tool to help with seed starting and transplanting. The Little Dibby is plastic, about 5 inches long and thin, in bright green, blue, white, pink, yellow, or orange. One end is used to plant seeds. It has graduating rings to show seed planting depth, from 1/8 inch to 1 ½ inch. The other end has a spatula or scoop-like shape to gently dig and remove a seedling to transplant. The Little Dibby is so popular that Sean and Allison are now selling through Etsy.
