GG I have a strimmer, rake, spade and fork, shears to cut the grass (havnt got a lawn mower yet) gloves, scissors (very useful) secateurs, dibber, hoe. Luckily I have a lean too at the back so I keep my hose pipe and pots and seed trays etc there out of the way.
Worth having bottle of water to drink (its hot work) or tea making facility!
Three weeks ago I planted my second lot of garlic, straight in the ground. That hasn't come up either. These were from ones I grew this year, as opposed to the ones I got from the garden centre that didn't do anything either, so now I have to wonder just what I'm doing wrong?
Sounds as though you have a good choice of tools in your sheds
Someone on another forum said you have to be careful what tools you keep in your shed in case others steal your stuff, I will have to ask when I get a plot if they have had a break ins and thefts there
Got my Suttons Catalogue today me going off with a cup of tea and a nosy at the catalogues
I seem to have two of everything in the shed as I moved stuff off my other site as there was no shed and tools were kept in a plastic bag at the bottom on that plot. There was also stuff left on the new plot.
Two bent forks, spades, shears, rakes, hand spade and fork. Secatars, scissors, hoe, dibber...things like twine, wire, I'm sure there's more...
There's no door on the shed so anything of value is taken home each day...not that I have anything of value
Not heard of an emergency fund but our association keeps some money from rent in reserve in case of emergencies ie burst pipes and the water is on a metre so bills preasumably can be unpredictable but still need to be paid.
I'm in the NW and would not be planting clovers straight into the ground at this time unless they'd been started in modules and had a good healthy shoot on them. I've about 30 to go out but they've shoots 6inches or more on them.
Here in the NW and I'm happy to be wrong...a clove planted out now will not start growing., they do need a little heat to give them a start and if they don't start growing before Winter sets in you risk the clove rotting in the ground before there is sufficient heat for them start growing again in the spring. .

zoomer i am in Bristol. I've got one lot of garlic in modules and one lot in the ground. Both from different sources, with the only thing in common is that they're not doing owt
Garlic , obviously depends where in the country you are , I'm in Lincolnshire and I already have my Garlic planted in the ground and never , fingers crossed , had any problems , I understand they need a bit of cold weather in fact there was a thread just about Garlic
weather been quite mild so far
unfortunately have rain forecast tommrow but should be nice Monday and Tuseday so hopefully at the allottment then , need to do a big if weeding and finish putting in Onions
It started off miserable this morning, lashing down but by late morning it had brightened up and was a lovely mild day......managed to get even more clearing done so next job is to dig out to prepare a base for a new greenhouse. I've been out with tape measure, pen and paper and lots of ideas being jotted down and many more in my head
All all my seed catalogues have arrived so if it rains tomorrow I have plenty to keep me occupied, otherwise it's more digging!
Sadly Mr Fox paid a visit this week and we lost 3 of our chooks , I'm gutted and paranoid that he will be back for more! Guess it's the downside of keeping chickens!

Thanks Edd
none of my garlic has even sprouted, let alone anything else

Philpips I did that with my first lot, and they've just sat there ever since
I put my onions in modules at the same time amd they've done really well
Where in the country are you Fruitcake.
