Topic: some old tools

Here are a few pictures of my seed drill and jigger that have been passed down to me from my Father as they were to him by his Father.

Delightful, aren't they.

Richard - They are delightful tools and very much worth  keeping.  They would make a nice feature in your garden !

 ;D :D

Marianne I still use the tools most days on the allotment, they save a lot of time for me.   ::)

Wow! Those must be a real boon on the Allotment Richard.

[Marianne]

Well Richard - If you are still using them, that is an added bonus !  :D

Dad has the exact same wheeled hoe which he also still uses.

He also has an old seed drill. It is not really a garden tool as it sows as 10' wide row of seeds, usually wheat/barley/swedes etc.

They are huge collectors items now by the way and can fetch good sums of money so make sure you lock them away safe and sound.
