for pictures of tools, and descriptions. I have 2 trowels, one for digging out weed and planting things,and one for planting bulbs; a small spade for digging out larger plants to transplant, a spading fork to dig potatoes, bulbs, etc and for dividing perennials. I enjoy a shovel for digging up my garden, a scoop shovel for moving gravel, mess, and other things. I have a hay fork for turning my compost pile. I hold a pair of pruners for adjectives back things and deadheading plants. I hold a pruning saw and a bow saw for pruning and cutting up things. I hold a garden rake for smoothing my soil and moving gravel around. I have a branch rake for leaves and other garden detrius. I have a mattock for digging up brawny weed clumps and rocks when I am digging a new planting bed or planting a tree. I also enjoy a pick for when the mattock isn't big enough. I hold a pair of pruning shears for clipping my evergreens. And a wheelbarrow. There are a few more tools surrounded by my toolshed, but those are the ones I couldn't garden without.

Fifteen? Why spend all your money on tools. I'd fairly spend money on plants and seeds. Here's my enumerate of necessary implements:

Two apt hands, strong rear, good ancient dirt, pruners (mine are Corona,) 6" drop forged trowel, leaf rake, shovel. "And that's adjectives I need." Steve Martin, The Jerk. (I regard that's the movie.)

Think you get the "picture" and the stress of each are self explanatory.

Answers:    My basic tools are much a reduced amount of than 15.

One Spade
One hand trowel
One garden fork
A Wheelbarrow
A fern rake
Good hand pruners
Lopers - for the stuff too big for mitt pruners

Anything else is a luxury.
