Hand tools

Assorted garden tools

The quick hand tool reorganization in May has worked out well, with everything staying sorted and easy to find.  Oddly this year, the hand tools themselves seem to be getting less of a workout than in the past. It only struck me today, kinda odd, so I gave it some thought. Forks are still used regularly for harvest digging, rakes for finishing off beds for seeding, but the various hoes, usually grabbed daily, have in great part been replaced by the wheel hoe! Even the Horse rototiller is getting noticeably less work. Cool. The wheel hoe has proven, as expected, to be a brilliant tool. Saves countless hours, makes tedious jobs fun. Don’t market garden without it!
