About this word search

In much of Canada, the Victoria Day long weekend in May is the traditional time to plant the garden, once the risk of frost has mostly passed. That makes this list fit well for a spring weekend, from the Wheelbarrow and the Compost to the Mole under the lawn.

Watering can and Lawnmower are among the longest entries, and the W at the start of Watering can is a good anchor. Hoe is the shortest, and easy to miss. No word runs backwards, but diagonals are part of the puzzle.

After the puzzle, go out to the yard or a park and look for as many of the words as possible: a Hedge, a Fence, a Worm or a Snail.
