    I'm a modern girl. It's clunk click every trip for me. Clunk and there's the water where I want it. Click and there's the electricity. I know, I know ! But I don't know how I would manage without it.

      I think it would have to be my little pink trug. Goes everywhere with me, and is not too big, so if it is filled to the brim with anything, I can still lift it and carry it and being bright pink I always know where it is.

        MIne is my measuring stick/wand.!

        I have my whole plot divided up into 4 foot beds/ 2 foot paths. I have a 2 foot stick (slaters lath) which I have cut notches into every 3 inches. I use it for all my planting distances, keeping path widths right, and can measure from either side of beds! I also use it to shut the woodburning stove door so that I don't burn my hands.

        A while ago I stood on it and broke it! I was so sentimentally attached to it, rather than make a new one I splinted and screwed it back together!

        It's the one thing I may request to be laid in my coffin beside me! (preferably when I'm dead , of course, and not that I intend popping my cloggs imminently!)

          sad, but I have to say my garden kneeler!

          it goes everywhere I do in the garden and is always there to help me up when I'm on my knees plus a lot more comfy than kneeling on the gravel......

            I'm with JA - only one!......

            It would have to be my pencil... I use it to write labels, dib seedlings, mark shallow drills (using the butt end) It has served as a temporary plant support and on occasion I stir the coffee with it! (well the stuff is mud coloured to start with....... )

            I've even used it to dib out the leeks on one occasion - I 'lost' the leek dibber TOH made me, he's a woodturner in his spare time so I get the leek dibber to my personal requirements and he always makes my tool handles for me!
            The weeks and the years are fine. It's the days I can't cope with!

                      Hundreds of years ago when we were young and just beginning to garden (first house and all that!) my wife and I went to a garden centre at High Leigh in Cheshire. We could not even then afford the plant prices, but she did buy me a stainless steel 'spatula'. I suppose it is like the respondants tea spoon. I still have it and use it everyday.

                              Ivy-block lotion, as it seems all i have to do is just LOOK at poison ivy, oak, ragweed, etc, and get a rash! Ivy-block, and a good pair of gloves, and I haven't contracted a rash in over 5 years!

                              Also, a note to anyone else who ever gets poison ivy, the best home solution that worked for me in the past, to dry up the weeping blisters from the rash, is liquid dish soap, which works like a charm, but rinse well afterwards, to combat any burning.
