Winter offers us time to plan and dream about our gardening ventures for the spring and summer, and the peak season arrives faster that a zinnea [1]seed can sprout. Now is the time to take inventory of supplies in the garden shed, and freshen and restock where needed.

And, my poor, poor hand hoe/weeder…. I simply can’t part with it.

I bought it probably twenty years ago at Smith and Hawkins and it has by far been my favorite hand tool. It makes for quick weeding as I pick and pull my way through the beds. If you don’t have one of these
then you can buy it here. [8]
And, then there’s the poor, downtrodden, and abused wheelbarrow…
After one too many loads of hauling heavy stones for a garden wall, it’s time to go to Home Depot [9] for a new one.

Hope this check list helps you get your garden shed in order. It’s a little early for spring fever, but I always seem to catch it too soon. I can’t wait for my sleeping garden to wake up and look like this again…
