Actually, these images come from an activity I personally do, and in fact, are very ordinary. The activity: some of it has been completed, and some of it still has to be done in the next few days. The activity did not actually target the harvest. The desired result is simply to get a beautiful and clean view around my place, and then enjoy it. The tools I use for my activity, "gardening", are simple and common tools.
The first tool, of course, the hoe. In our place, farming or gardening work is always associated with the hoe. In fact, the hoe can be said to have been symbolized for farming and gardening activities. The hoe is used to clear the soil or land from grass and also to break the soil, so that the soil becomes loose, and thus, plants can develop their roots easily. With that hoe I've done some work, and planted some. However, there is still a lot of unfinished work. The kaffir lime tree I planted in the sack was about to be planted in the ground. I haven't done that yet. The chili and papaya seeds that have been sown have now grown and must also be transferred to the ground. They are so many. Maybe, I will plant them very tightly.
Kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix)
Chili seeds that have sprouted.
The second tool, a machete. The machete for gardening at our place is generally curved and pointed at the end as you can see in the picture. It's actually to make it easier to cut and remove the bushes, especially the various vines that grow wild, and there are indeed a lot of them in our area. The creepers and vines are stronger than cultivated plants. If the cultivated plants are not taken care of, the wild plants will soon cover the cultivated plants. The machete is a tool that must always be there and taken with us when we garden or farm here.
Marigolds (Tagetes) seeds that have sprouted.
Celery (Apium graveolens).
A chili plant that has been removed and planted in the ground, beside it, dry twigs for signs so that the plants are not stepped on.
The third tool, a small hoe. We call that "bird hoe". Maybe because it's small, and yes maybe because it looks a bit like a bird's beak! This is the tool I like the most. It is very effective for clearing grass and planting, because it is light, and we can move it quickly.
A curry tree (Murraya koenigii) that has just been planted in the ground.
Next to the hoe is a lemongrass plant (Cymbopogon). This plant is said to repel mosquitoes. So, planting near the house will be very profitable.
Last but not least, the rake. It is a very helpful tool in clearing bushes, especially various creepers and vines. In my place where grass and bushes grow very easily and cover the ground, this tool is probably the second tool after the machete we think of when we are clearing the land.

And one more! Gloves. It is necessary, in addition, to keep hands clean, some plants are prickly or rough-skinned plants that can injure hands. Wearing gloves helps protect hands, and work can be carried out safely.
That's my collection for stock images this time. You can use any, or all of them, if they suit you.
