Standard Garden Fork
Falcon FWF-1001 Steel Hand Weeding Fork (Multicolor)
A garden fork is a hand held tool that has three to four prongs and a head. The prongs are made up of good quality steel and the handle can be aluminium, wood or other material.
The tines or prongs are generally sharp, to facilitate digging into your organic vegetable garden.
Garden Rake
Kisan Kraft KK-GR-3135 Steel Rake (Blue)
Used in gardening for loosening the soil, light weeding and levelling of mud, the garden rake is made of steel and has to be hardy enough to handle tightened soil.
Trovels
AGRI GARDEN TRANSPLANT TROVEL – RUBBER WOOD HANDLE
Trovels are used for digging holes, planting, transplanting into ground or containers. They are made of tough blade and rubber wood or wooden handle.
Trovels are the most necessary tools and you cannot do gardening without one.
Pruners
Falcon Pruning Secateurs – Economy M-2(Total Length 200 MM,Steel Handle with PVC grip)
Pruners have many uses when it comes to gardening, they ared for cutting, snipping, trimming, pruning and so on.
I know of some friends who have this hanging around their hips in a holster (you know like a cowboy gun), that much is the use of a pruner to a gardener.
When buying a pruner always check for the safety lock system.
Garden Gloves
You surely cannot work with your bare hands in your garden to grow you own organic vegetables, you need to take care of your hands.
Khurpi
Just like the trovel khurpi is used to loosen the soil for planting, transplanting and other gardening works. It is blunt unlike the sharp edged trovel.
Weeder
TO weed out unwanted weeds growing in between you organic vegetable crops a weeder is necessary. This is a tool that will have to be kept handy almost every other day, because robust weeds grow when you begin fertilsing your plants.

Watering Can
I remember using a used tin with holes in them to water my plants when I was a small girl, well that was quite cumbersome. You could just buy a watering can so that you irrigate your plants without damaging them.
Truphe 5-Liter Premium High-Grade Plastic Watering Can
This is one small list of tools, which is essential to begin to grow your own organic vegetables. There are others which you might fancy later with time.
