Re: [SG] GARDEN TOOLS

#1 (and the last shall be first) - I see no signs of hostas either, but have
everything else in abundance.  I think the hostas are well aware that I never
wanted them in the first place and hated them and their slug friends for the
little while they were with me (last year only)

I use both a sled (plastic from ace hardware) and just bought a little red wagon
from Little Tykes (I think that is the brand) but have not yet found anyone to
put it together for me. May be forced to do it myself.
 It is a glorious spring!
