this is the only thing I've found so far...

Trying to find something just a little bit bigger though...but staying with the same idea (leaf rake, garden rake, hoe, and shovel - you get the picture - and nothing "cheap" plastic)

My mom got him a kid-sized wheelbarrow and I was trying to find gardening tools that are his size since he likes to help out so much. Oh, he's 5 years old I believe...so want something that he's not going to outgrow in a year...

Any ideas where I can find something??

I just saw a cute set at the Lowes that are real tools for kids, like a starter set that they can really use.

John from www.growingyourgreens.com goes on a field trip to share with you his favorite source for the best garden tools you should purchase ...

Especially, the metal tools like spades, pruning scissors, etc. which may have some rust. Is there a way I can sharpen their edges myself?

If you are finished with your tools for the season, they should be wiped to remove sand dirt and chemicals, then lightly oiled to keep them from rusting. I use a file to touch up the edges on my hoe and shovel, but I'm sure if I did it on the bench grinder, I would have a better edge. Be sure to re-oil after sharpening. I also keep a five gallon bucket just inside the door of my garden shed with sand 3/4 full. I poured a quart of motor oil in the sand and mixed a little bit. When I'm finished with a spade or my pruning scissors, I put them in the sand before hanging them up or storing them. It removes the dirt and lightly oils them so they last longer. Good luck on the garden.

I had a small veggie garden last year, so this wasn't a problem as I used some small tools I purchased myself. This year, I plan to go pro, and came upon some old tools (spade, pitchfork, rake, etc) that were here from the previous owner of my house. Problem is, they're rusty. Can I use them safely, or should I scrap them and buy all new stuff?
PS: I will be composting, too.

You will be fine with the tools that you have. One trick is to buy a pale and fill it with playbox sand, mix in some oil and put your tools into the sand. This will prevent rust and will not hurt your garden or compost. Good luck.
