Tools In A Bucket

This year, all of the tools I use except my hoe and my cultivator fit into a 5 gallon bucket which sits discreetly near the lean-to in the middle of my garden. Too close to the fence or inside the garden shed and it could be/would be stolen.

Last year, I had very little money to buy implements. This year, that's not a problem, but I've found that for a garden my size, these tools, the cloches, and the arbor stuff are all I need.

This is my stuff:

Climber mesh, garden wire, and a mesh bag of zip ties.
Sprinkle plant food, ball of cotton string (recycled from a broken mop head), pint basket full of seed packets and liquid plant food powder.
Two pairs of garden gloves, a drawstring reusable bag, kid's garden shovel, garden fork, scissors, sprayer nozzle, snake-tongue-tool-thingy, trowel (I think, the little pointed shovel thing), terra cotta plant saucer (water for the birds), organic wheat grass seed (grass for the cat),  bulb planter, knee pads, and a hacksaw.

Cloches on a stick - perfect storage until winter.
