Name that gardening tool?

Canyon, TX(Zone 6b)

OK I have lost/misplaced where I put my favorite tool! LOL :(( I have no clue what it is called in came in a set and I thought it was a spade but I can't find a "spade" that is not actually a shovel! LOL

It was/is a hand held tool and is shaped like a triangle (not a perfect triangle, two sides where longer) and it is really sharp on the bottom side.

Can anyone tell me what it is called so I can go buy another one until I can find my favorite one!

Thanks!

Probably a trowel? Here are some pics so you can see if that's what you meant

I have looked for pictuers of spade all over the net. They all looked like shovels! LOL

I did not look for a trowel. I did find a picture of a Dutch Hand Weedert and a Swoe (like I know how to say that! LOL) and they looked very close to the save thing.

I also found a picture of s Single Tine Hand Hoe which was kind of the same thing but it was attached different (on a different side) then mine!

Mine had the handle attached on the top long side and was very sharp on the bottom long side. The shorter side of the triangle was on the left.

I could chop with it like a hoe or use the pointier end to dig with! HUMMM

I never have knowen what they are called! LOL

It is not a trowel or a shovel. Oh I wish I could find a pic of it!! LOL When you layed it down the tip/back end of the handle would lay on the ground and the sharp edge of the triangle would as well. Therefore the triangle was pointing up. If that helps.

I will see if I can find a pic of it again! AWWW I bet when I find out what it is I will NEVER forget! LOL

Ok it looks like the second pic from the left, witht he red handle end! WOO WOO I found the pic! Preview Box
