I'm excitedly waiting as the time is passing, so slowly anticipating the snow to melt and uncover the grass beneath, so I can finally start this season's garden. I'm going to start planting my seeds indoors soon and watch them grow into beautiful little seedlings so when the time comes, I can get my seedlings planted in the ground. My excitement is continually growing every day!
I'm going to give the list of tools that I use in my garden every year. The top five tools are the tools that are a must-have for me. After that, I'll list the tools that I have and like, but I don't necessarily need to have.

I use this tool for edging the garden. It works well. I push it straight down, then go to the side and go at a downward angle to cut the chunk out on the gardens' edge. This edger is an excellent tool for doing that. If the ground isn't Frozen, this works well.

I used the rake to distribute the compost and wood chips evenly. It works well for moving around wood chips; I use it in my perennial garden all the time. I have been using this rake for three years and haven't found any significant issues.

I use the shovel to load compost in my wheelbarrow. This shovel is nice. I've used it many times. It's built well I've had no issues with it. I even use it for snow sometimes. The compost is heavy, and the shovel was solid and sturdy while loading.

I have used this wheelbarrow for several years. I've hauled many things in my wheelbarrow. It has held up well, and I have not found any issues with it. I have loaded it with heavy loads, and it still moves quickly and is very sturdy. However, I've never used a four-wheel wheelbarrow to know if that would be better.

This is an excellent tool! I have not found any issues within the two years I have had it. When you are planting seedlings, and you come across roots in the ground, this knife/shovel has a blade on one side you can use to saw through the roots. The other side is a knife blade. This shovel also has a ruler across the blade. I use the measurement for spacing my seedlings. This is an excellent tool.

This tool is an excellent choice for moving wood chips in a small area for planting a seedling. I haven't used it much, but I like it for making a space to plant my seedlings. It easily removes the wood chips. It also digs well in the soil. The handle is 11.6 inches long with a comfortable rubber grip for easy handling.

This tool is used for many different gardening jobs digging, removing all kinds of weeds, seeding, and planting. It is an exceptional tool for weeding. It's solid and durable. The sharp tip goes into the soil and quickly digs up your weeds. It also comes with a leather cover. This is another favorite tool of mine.
