Just cleaned my fridge shelving and inside with disinfectant and the drip tray at the rear etc. Feeling accomplished.

i finally have a yard of my own. a pretty decent one at that.

starting from scratch, what are some must-have tools to have in my shed for yard/gardening? i do have a lawnmower.

 

[Kane52630]

Leaf blower, hedge trimmer, wheelbarrow, shovel, rake, drop spreader, and probably a garden hand tool set.

i spent yesterday afternoon pulling out old bushes on one side of my house. some were dead and came right up. others were not and some were darn difficult. a few even have other stuff growing up in between them. a particularly stubborn azalea bush has the upper hand on me so far. i borrowed my dads clippers and trimmed the bush down to see better while i tried to uproot it, but the root is massive. it literally broke my shovel in half when i tried to get leverage. it was a wooden one that obviously had been left in the rain by someone a long time, so the handle was probably weaker, but still. i ordered a fiberglass one for pickup at Home Depot. maybe i'll go get it tomorrow.

also, while doing this, there were 2 skinks on the wall watching me. bother at least 3-4 inches long. i don't like lizards
