New Garden Tool

I can’t imagine gardening without tools especially the good ones that really do the job. I have all kinds from all over. I particularly like the hand tools from Japan and Korea. I studied Bonsai while I was in Okinawa and I tried to have all the tools I needed. I find the mini rake/spade handy for transplanting seedlings to the garden or even in pots. I particularly like the scythe which I always use for weeding and if I need to remove the vines from the garden. It is really a fantastic tool for that because I can do it in a little amount of time. It works just like the sickle and I both like to use them especially in weeding.
The knife I just bought works just like the “hori-hori” knife with one advantage which is a measure engraved on the knife for measuring depths of planting as recommended by experts. It is made of stainless steel and has a leather holder as an added bonus so I can always keep it with me while working in the garden.
It is made by Craftsman and I like it very much. I can use it for digging transplants, weeding, cutting soil bags, etc. It’s a very versatile tool.

    I am not really sure what the name of this insect but one of my garden friends call it “june bug”. I was surprised to see it on my patch of green onions as if it just wants to cling there. I did’nt see any hole on the green onion leaves. Well, I guess it’s…

    I have to say I like lighthouses. I collect pictures and figurines of lighthouses all over. I even made a painting of the Diamond Head lighthouse. This picture was taken sometime ago from the Makapuu beach side when we went sightseeing which started from the Hanauma Bay through Bellows AFB. The Makapuu lighthouse reminds me…

  • Garden Cat

    Once in a while I have uninvited guests in my garden. This gate crasher looks like he really feels at home. I don’t mind. He chases some mice that might be eating my crops so he’s a a little helper actually. And he looks cute too.
