Mine is a Radio Flyer....my little red wagon. It has been my garden companion for more than 20 years. I load it with tools and it saves many steps back and forth It also carries gloves, glasses, hat and water. Over the years it has moved heavy items like sacks of soil, fertilizer or bird seed. I can roll the bags off the tailgate and into the wagon. Over the years, we have acquired two more red wagons. A sturdy work wagon which I set the gas can in and take to to the mower or tiller. Also this newer one which works well to carry pine straw for mulch or leaves to the compost. This wagon is also my potting bench. It carries potting soil, hand tools and pots. A large plastic bin sits on top, making it a convenient height to work on and contains the mess. The wagon helps move plants out in spring and back in when cooler. In the summer it carries gallons jugs of water to the thirsty plants. It is more stable than a wheelbarrow. I have been known to load it with plants to display them in a spot that needs a splash of color or even just to see if they like that spot. With out a doubt, this is my favorite gardening tool.....
What's yours?
