Have you read about
Carol and her hoe down?
Bloggers are dusting off and polishing up their hoes to show them off.
Well right now my hoes are down. It is rainy and dreary and they are getting a few unexpected days off work till the sun comes out and it warms up a bit.
The hoes are just laying on their sides hoping the rain will wash them off.

A couple of the bigger hoes had to do some work awhile back when we had an almost flood in the back yard. They were called to action early to help clear out the accumulation of leaves and debris and mud that was accumulating in the run off stream. And what a good job they did.
If you look closely you can still see some of the mud on the hoe on the left.

In most normal gardens the hoes get a well deserved rest over the winter. Well, not mine.
I had mine on
display at Christmas time wishing everyone a
Hoe, Hoe Hoe, Merry Christmas!
Now I don't know all the technical names for these hoes and others that I have. I just know that they all look a little different, either by the length of the handle or the size of the blade.
So enjoy your rest hoes, because soon I will be singing
Heigh Hoe, Heigh Hoe, it's off to work we go!
All except my tiniest hoe. Can you see my little hoe on my
hosepipe wreath?
It just sits there on the wreath on the gate and looks cute all season long.
