Hi,

Time is going very fast.  Its almost time to come back to Finland. Yesterday was really hot day. I got some sun burned on my back and it hurts “a little bit”.  Not nice at all.

This week I have done following tasks:
– Putting supporting canes to tomatoes.
– Planting basil to glasshouse.
– Sowing vegetable seeds.
– Watering.
– Attached Clematis to climb the fence.
– Packing tents from weekend’s events.
– etc.

Here is some photos what I have done:

Using tools are part of our work routine. We use them everyday.

Here we use a paper to check when we take some tools out and then check it again when we return them.

Hand tools (that needs to be checked)

Hori Hori
Is used in weeding because it’s sharp and long. It can also be used in cutting. It’s a traditional Japanese tool.

Jakoti Shears
It has long cutting edge. It’s used to cutting. We used it to cut hydrangeas.

Secateurs
Used to cut smaller branches and shoots.

Snips
Used more in glasshouses and cutting flowers and pot plants.

Penknife
Can be used to take cuttings and it’s handy tool to keep with you, all the time.

Saw
Really useful in cutting trees. It cuts when you pull it not when you push it. Very sharp, be careful.
