Summer Gardening Tools

Summer has always been my favorite season for many different reasons. For one, I love the warm weather and being able to swim in the pool. It's nice being able to go outside to enjoy the fresh air instead of having to stay inside like in the winter. Another reason is that I love how all of the flowers and gardens look: colorful, vibrant and fun. I believe that the right garden can make a house seem a lot more beautiful than it actually is, so the importance of having a garden is a necessity.

            Because I enjoy gardening so much, I always make sure to help my parents with the task. Whenever they go outside on Saturday mornings to plant new flowers or to water them, I am there to cut their work load in half. However, even though I like gardening, I still do not like the process of having to move heavy tools, dirt and other objects from place to place.

            We used to have this almighty lawn mower that would not only cut the grass, but with a special attachment in the back, it would also move tools around to where we needed them. It came in handy on many different occasions, like when we needed to move a load of dirt from the back of the house to the front in order to plant new flowers. It also came in useful when we needed it for simple things such as mowing the lawn. Recently, the engine had died out, leaving us without the important tool that helped us with all of our gardening tasks. My dad had said he was going to fix it up but never got around to doing it. It was clear that he didn't want to have to go through the trouble of having to replace the engine. When I suggested that it would be easier if we get a new one, he disagreed, telling me that it would be a lot more expensive to do that.

            So for a few weeks, our work was made difficult when we had to carry tools with our bare hands; it was not the kind of strength that my family possessed. It wasn't until our lawn grew to an unacceptable length that my dad finally realized that it was time to get the lawn mower running back up.

            He looked up different engines until he reached Repower Specialists who sold Honda small engines, Kohler small engines and Briggs and Stratton small engines as well as many other small engines. He ordered a Briggs and Stratton small engine after he discovered that the hard work of finding the right small engine was done.

            Once the old engine had been taken out and replaced with the Briggs and Stratton small engine, the lawn mower started back up without any complications. We were able to mow the lawn and garden with ease, all thanks to a simple small engine.
