This is going to be my first year making an honest attempt at planting vegetables (instead of just throwing seeds and seeing what grows) so thank you for giving me a good starting place!
I use a bulb planter that works perfect for planting transplants. Takes a perfect size plug/hole for planting and has a button you push that opens up the end to release plug of dirt.
I sew, and this year I'm making a harvesting apron. I'll design it with a large but stable pouch and over the neck and shoulders support. It will allow me to harvest things like beans, tomatoes, and okra using both hands rather than one holding a bowl or having to walk back to the bowl or bucket with hands full of veg. I used a make shift one last year, but this year I'm designing and sewing one up. Hopefully it will be better than a makeshift shirt basket--gathering up your t-shirt in the front to carry the harvest into the house. 🤪
Sanitary measures : do not forget to use methanol to sanitize your pruners every time you cut off roses, fruit trees, gooseberries... Rose plants are full of bacteria that will spread into your apple and peer trees and vice-versa. I use a bit of olive oil to maintain the joints of my pruners.
That first shovel you showed looked like a feed scoop. I've never used a hand shovel like that; before. The one that I have is narrower and has marks on it. I think they are meant for bulb planting; but, they still work for digging holes for plants. I also have a tool that I nicknamed the Claw. It's like a miniature rake; but, with 4 tines instead. I have a pair of anvil pruners that can cut through some pretty thick stems; but, for the stems that are thicker than my pruners can handle, I have loppers that can take down a 2 inch thick sunflower stem. I have a pair of leather driving gloves that I can use for gardening; but, my favorite are the Eco-Fiber gloves. They are made of bamboo.
I go for the bigger scoops Donna because they hold more soil. The regular trowels seem to hold a pittance. Easier to dig holes, for sure, but for the most part, I don't really dig in the garden so the extra capacity wins the day! :-) Cheers!
Agree with your list. I would add seed starter equipment for people in certain zones if they want certain crops. Also a nod to a Hori Hori as a nice to have bonus :) Great vid! I have been binge watching your stuff, wouldn't mind seeing a few more walks in that great forest again!
So true man....the seed starting stuff for sure! Trying not to overwhelm people! But you're right, its so rewarding to start your own seeds indoors early! Forest walks for sure! I have a new gimble to try out as well!

Right on Xander, best of luck! Go in with a plan and learn from each speed bump. You got this!

That would be so handy! Love it!!

Gardening Apron!! Of course. Brilliant...can't believe I forgot that one!

Very smart Anna! No sense spreading disease when it is so easily preventable! :-)

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Hello, I really liked the big trowel, "scoop" you showed. Do you have a source for that particular tool?
