For pricking out, I use a table fork and a plant label
My "precious thing" is the pair of Burgon & Ball seceteurs I won on here. They get cleaned and oiled & wrapped in a rag after use

Ooh, tricky! I like my kirpi weeder, as it has several different edges so you can get at pretty much any weed. Quite expensive, but in a good cause!

However I also like my latest purchase, which I reckon will be very handy for harvesting beans:
Deadhead snips
They're just like medieval shears but in miniature, which is part of their charm for me!Comment

Hi,
My favorite tools at the moment are the two propagators I have on the go. Although unheated they enable me to grow seeds in advance. This is my first time at Veggie gardening and I am really enjoying itJo

I'm the same in the kitchen. I have an ancient (more like 20 years than 2!) wooden spoon that's worn as thin as a spatula - I'll be heartbroken when it finally gives up the ghostOriginally posted by Victoria26 View Postgimme my 2 year old trowel with the broken taped up handle and im happy.

I have an Italian Hoe /Adze....it great for making trenches in my clay.
Italian woman moved in up the road and had the contents of her shed sea fraighted over. When it turned up the container was full of all sorts of stuff that she didn't want.
She asked if I wanted any of it...there was loads of great tools.My phone has more Processing power than the Computers NASA used to fake the Moon LandingsComment

Don't laugh now, but my favourite tool is my boys kid sized spade...I find it so handy when working on a small area, even though my husband laughs when he sees me using it.Comment

My kneeler pad is the one thing I always get out of the shed first...
