A few of my favorite gardening tools

There are many wonderful aspects to being a part of the flowering world and one of them is gardening and the tools we use. So I thought I would share a few of my favorite gardening tools, and I really hope you will share your favorites with me in the comment section below, as I would love to learn about some new tools!
A Few of My Favorite Gardening Tools

KOREAN HAND HOE
The Korean Hand Hoe (also known as the Ho-Mi) is an awesome tool I learned about at a Mettowee Mill Nursery [link: http://www.mettoweemillnursery.com] workshop a few years ago. It truly has become my go-to tool in the garden. Its shape and sharp edges makes it useful for a number of jobs: digging holes, weeding, trenching, and cultivating.

CUTTERS
Felco makes my favorite cutters. Felco is a well-known brand and there is a reason for this: they are reliable, don’t rust, sharpen really well, and last forever (as long as you don’t leave them somewhere in the garden).

SCISSORS
Joyce Chen makes the most wonderful scissors for cutting flowers, and not only are they great for cutting flowers, but they are perfect for the kitchen, too. I have two pairs: one in blue for my flowers and one in yellow for the kitchen (they come in red and white, too).

GARDENING GLOVES
I have not tried all of the gloves out there, but that’s because the gloves I have are the best gloves that I could ever imagine having. The West County gloves breathe really well, they come in many wonderful colors (purple, green, and orange are three of my favorites), they are durable and wash up incredibly well, which is very necessary when it comes anything I wear in the garden. Also, even though they breathe well, on a cold, windy day when planting bulbs, they keep your hands warm, too.

What are your favorite gardening tools? I am always looking for another great tool.
