Congrats on your new gig in print media. I feel so happy for you. And to think, I knew you back when you were just a seed of a writer and here you are in full bloom.

Instead of using my own hoes, Carol, I wait until my Divas of the Dirt friend Mindy comes over with her Diamond Hoe and let her do the work.
Where gardens grow all year round the tools don't get any R & R for Hoe-tober!

I was reading an old post about your night blooming cerieus (queen of the night). I was shocked that such a large plant in a sunroom does not flower regularly. I use a bit of time release fertilizer on mine and it blooms 2-3 times a year. Mine is about 1/4 the size of yours.

Oh Hoe, Oh Hoe, How I love you so, oh Hoe.

This year was the first year I was actually able to use a hoe in the new house. In the last 48 months, I have transformed my soil from solid red clay to something resembling, ummm, ummm, red clay with some organics in it? It was finally broken up enough that I could actually use a hoe without it becomign on gloppy sticky mess.

I like the scuffle hoe, and another item which I think can be classified as a hoe. Photos will come. Maybe you can help with an ID.

Will you be serving beer and brats at your Hoe-toberfest?:)

Good advice, Carol; I really do need to treat my gardening assistants with better care than I do. And, yes, I have a couple of new hoes in mind I'd like to get--I'll have to check out possible end-of-the season sales.

I finally added an adjustable hoe to the collection this year. I need a much longer hoe for the other garden spots but the adjustable one works well enough in the raised beds. Have a Happy Hoetober!

Happy Hoetober to you too. I am sure your pampered hoes appreciate all the attention.

This is so interesting!
I've a whole lot to learn from fellow bloggers.

My hoes got together and decided they want to come and live with you, because they'll get so much more exercise (and respect). They don't know what this 'ice' is that you speak of, however...you mean like when the icemaker in the freezer needs a little stirring, right?

Hoe-tober! That is absolutely perfect! gail

Carol, I will celebrate in spirit with you. My hoes are already put away for the winter. One extra tip, though. Hubby likes to wipe down the metal part of any of the gardening tools with a little oil. Helps to keep them from drawing moisture and possibly rusting.

Have a wonderful Hoe-tober Fest!

How about my hand trimmers and hand trowel? I'm not much of a hot person. But hoe does rhyme better with October. Very creative.

I'll have to find a suitable pose for my poor, disused hoe. At least I don't chop ice with it.
