Around this time of year, my garden wagon becomes an extension of my left arm. And the sound of garden tools clanking and the bouncing of wagon wheels follows me around this vast jungle I call a yard.

For a few years I dreamed about have a red garden wagon. It would help with my garden habits. Piles of plant pots, spades and other garden related accoutrements had gathered in various spots outside ... if I only had a wagon I could tow around, I could easily pick up my messes and take them back to the garden shed.
I even had a picture of a wagon, cut out from a magazine, taped on the fridge for manifestation.

Then one day, a wagon, in the shade of my favorite color blue, showed up in the yard. The husband surprised me with it. It's been years now that I've been dragging ole blue around the perimeter. And I don't know how I ever gardened without it.

Do you have a garden wagon? I'd love to see it.
Here's mine. ;)



Got this idea from MissingRose and her GardenArts thread.


Silver bells and cockle shells.

Sister uses wagon.

Since I live on a hill I need a Gator to use as my wagon. This hill doesn't look steep until you walk it.

Love your wagon, DaisyRyder. Here is a picture of my wagon attached to the 4-wheeler at the top of the picture and to the left is my other garden helper, our Ranger. I can't do all this gardening without either one.

My Red Wagon

I think I have that same red wagon. The back latch fails the same way.

Yes, that back panel comes off sometimes when you are driving so you need to be careful when you don't want to loose what you are hauling. We have had the underside of the wagon welded and may need to have it done again this summer. I use it a lot. I mix up my soil, compost, manure, potting soil and whatever in it.

I use bungee cords to hold the back in place. Easier.

I never thought of that. I may have to put one on the back of the 4-wheeler so I have it if I ever need it. Just the other day when I was driving through the yard, the back fell off. I must have been going too fast with no load on. I am always rushing to get as much done as possible.

Oh I invent solutions without even thinking about them sometimes.

The tailgate folds down ! Right ?
If not ! Id get some hinges. The next thing i would do is to bolt a 3/4 inch x 4 foot long peice of plywood to tailgate, so i would have a ramp.
Wha da ya think ?
Save the ol back.
