What gardening equipment do you all have?

Just curious, saw a post with a fella holding up a Thermometer, seems like I should obviously go get one now. Wondering what else ppl have.

My list:

Big digging shovel.
18in chain saw
Electric pole saw
Bypass pruners
Anvil Pruners
Loppers (Big bypass pruner?)
Aggressive pruning saw
Two hand shovels
Thin hand shovel for popping weeds
Pressure Sprayer for Round-Up
Pressure Sprayer for Bug Spray
Enough hose to hit the street - 4 sprinklers for it
Riding Mower
Push mower
Weed eater
Manual tiller
Rusty yard trailer
Seed spreader (could fertilize I suppose lol)
Lifetime supply of medium and large cheap pots.
Electric rain gauge so I can watch from inside.
. .
grafting kit for mutilating plants apparently

The rain gauge is amazingly useful over the summer. I'm at work during the day and it tells me if my house enjoyed any random pop up showers.

I need an electric thermometer and wind gauge to run some temp experiments and see where the wind blows. More for curiosity at this stage but wish I had them when I first moved in now.

The topics that pop up on this forum after midnight are always entertaining :)

Let's see...

2 shovels
1 square shovel
1 trench shovel
1 post hole digger
2 loppers
2 hand pruners
1 rake
1 hand spade
1 hand rake (for scaring up the sides of planting holes)
1 measuring tape
a bunch of gardening twine and string
a bunch of water/soaker hoses

I have tried two different electric rain gauges and they both were DOA out of the box. I have a manual gauge on a blue bird box. I also have an electric thermometer that I suspect runs just a couple degrees too warm.

ps - esh, I now picture you as some mountain man equivalent to a gardenter

Good grief- I'd have to go into that garage with a notepad and 3 or 4 spare hours to answer this one... not gonna happen, LOL.
I have 40+ gardening years of accumulated crap- you name it I likely have it.

Far too much. And, as someone else pointed out above, most of it I don't use. Some are specialized tools, such as post hole digger or a pole saw as an example, that I don't need very often, but when you need it, you need it. But, again, I think I counted 18 or 19 hoes of various types in my shed last summer. That's too much. I need to thin down the herd to the best of the lot.

pruners
Shovel
Gloves
Pull behind dump cart

I just got a new Cub Cadet and a 20 gal pull behind sprayer with a boom.... it's fun =)

2 wheel barrels

3 shovels

A thing that I forget what it's called but you buy it at Home Depot, it's red and you put it over a pole and pound and it puts a fence pole et al into the ground. I'm sure the name for it is obvious..pole pounder?

2 Hand spade

150 foot garden hose

Bags of pea stone (not my first choice, but due to voles, the only mulch I can safely use, and it works)

Push Mower (that is never used)

Riding Mower (that I always use; I LOVE to mow!)

I forgot,

I forgot, we also have a weed-eater that my husband uses.

2 gal. watering can

Thermometer
This computer
Pruners
Mower
Lawn Chair
Hammock
Iced tea

The last three are the ones I use most often!!
