The very best tools for the very best garden

18.05.12

Every gardener has his or her favorite tools, those that fit well into her hand and carry tales of past and present gardens triumphs and woes.

If the gardener is organized, these implements are wiped clean after each use, hang neatly in their designated places on a pegboard when not in use and are sharpened every winter.

I'm not that gardener.

Oh, I have beloved tools, ones I won't be without in my digging endeavors. But they rarely get replaced in their proper locations and certainly aren't honed in the off-season. This doesn't mean I value them less, it simply attests to my gardening laziness. Despite my cavalier attitude toward the care of my garden implements, here are the ones I must have:

Trowel: My sturdy trowel has been with me for decades, purchased from a yard sale in New Jersey. Its wooden handle rests comfortably in my palm, and since the blade is attached with metal rivets it never bends. It's large enough to upend a good-sized chunk of earth and has become a dear friend.
