Good Tuesday Morning, Mr Dude. Thank you for the QOD. First would be my two BIG boxes of seeds that are kept under the bed. If the house were a'fire, I'd grab them. Second would be a book I got (that LadyMarmalade will get soon, too!) about gardening on small amounts of land. Third- although I don't "own" them- are acquaintances and friendships I've made online over the past decade, by sharing pictures, stories, and seeds. And you should give an answer too, Mr. Dude! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/3247375/images/1O7SOWgs0dheN6ogmHMC.png)

My irrigation system - there is simply no way I could water all of those plants every season without it! My 'tiller, as there is no way I could turn that ground without it, and it would be a 6' deep layer of weeds!
Hard to pick a third one, though I might say the Earthbox/SIP, as this increases my output of some things immensely.

Whatever this thing is called. I have it with me constantly in the summer!! ![](http://gardentoolreview.com/wp-content/uploads/Flexrake-handheld-cultivator-review.jpg) I have a small Honda tiller that I simply adore. And my garden apron! My daughter in law has made me 2 of these. It hangs normally just like a regular kitchen apron, so is great for drying hands etc. Then there are strings on the sides that pull it up into a pouch which is great for carrying all sorts of things like seeds for planting while you are bent over OR better than a bucket when picking!

Hopefully everything else can be replaced a little easier should the need arise.

My Garden Boy. AKA, The Hubby.
I could not do it without him. He builds my boxes, fences and whatever I need him to build, hauls my dirt, tills the earth, and at the end of the season helps me haul the heavy debris to the compost.

Of course he's not an object to be owned, but my DH is also indispensable! He has no interest in gardening (other than eating my produce), but just because he loves me and knows how much I enjoy gardening, he moves bulk mulch, compost, big bags of fertilizer, and other heavy things, helps me move my EBs, builds trellises, raised beds, and irrigation systems, helps me do the heavy (chainsaw) part of the tree pruning, drags off the big heavy branches afterwards, and helps with all sorts of other tough jobs when I ask.
After DH, my next two most indispensable items are my seed collection and my Earthboxes/SIPs.

#1, Mantis. Without that, anything #2 may as well be #0.

1 - good pruning sheers 2 - the seed 'collection' soaker hoses 3 - computer for looking up and sharing information, and watching gardening videos. Honorable mention: my new soil blocker.

Tomato and pepper seeds from swaps/gifts (and other outdated free seeds)
Hubby, who rototills, puts up fencing in the Spring, takes it down in the Fall, helps haul bags of leaves for mulch, etc. He hates gardening, thanks to his Mom who made him do gardening chores as a punishment.
Garden/dirt scoop and a HoriHori knife.
