How long have you had yours?

3 years I think, maybe 4.

I don't have a wheelbarrow I use 5 gallon buckets and a hand truck(dolly) sounds silly but easier for me to control.i can also get into small places.

We don't even have a wheelbarrow. Hubs has carts that hook up to the riding lawnmower, and they are good for lots of different chores, including hauling firewood up to the porch. I decided last summer that I want to get a wheelbarrow for next year. There are a few places that the mower w/cart can't get to, where a wheelbarrow would come in very handy. I've seen people give them away on Craigslist every now and then!

We got a 2 wheeled wheel barrow but it is kind of awkward for me to handle when loaded. I bought a garden wagon with a dump feature and we have a Mule with a dump bed. Hubby has to dump that when loaded. Just not as strong as i used to be.

I use a plastic kid's sled during snow season. 2 wheeled wb during bare ground season.

4 more days, and spring will be on the way.

I can hardly believe stuff in my garden is still alive! Cauliflower, peas, carrots and cabbage.

Kale, broccoli, carrots, and a little spinach. Still haven't put the low tunnels out.

You guys are lucky. We have nothing but a crop of snow.

I like pictures of snow, just not playing in it anymore. Last Christmas we got a half inch Christmas Eve, but by dinner time Christmas day it was gone and I was cooking dinner on the grill in shorts and a t-shirt.
