Let's say you're not one for fancy weaponry, or you're in a life-threatening situation without a knife or gun in sight. What do you do? Why, raid the tool shed, of course!
Gardening Variety Weapon is when a character (not necessarily incompetent with more traditional weapons) turns a mundane garden tool into a competent weapon. Truth in Television in that many ancient weapons such as the flail and Nunchaku were essentially retooled farming implements.
A subtrope of Improbable Weapon User, and frequently, Improvised Weapon. Supertrope of Shovel Strike, Machete Mayhem, Kukris Are Kool, Sinister Scythe, Shear Menace (when gardening shears are used), half of both Torches and Pitchforks and Weapons of Their Trade. Often used in Martial Arts and Crafts if the craft is gardening. Contrast with Swords to Plowshares, when weapons are turned into garden tools.

Night Watch: Some of the rebels are retired soldiers who used halberds and swords as garden stakes or fire pokers... but also, workers who bring their tools, that they use safely and legally every day — tools like boathooks. And meat cleavers. One poor city soldier tries to explain to his officers that "unarmed" civilians really can do a lot of damage with a pitchfork hurled ten feet straight downwards.

Downplayed in Farming Life In Another World. The All-Purpose-Farming-Tool given to Hiraku by God to make his new life easier is meant for farming and usually manifests as such. But as an Empathic Weapon that responds to whatever task its wielder needs it to do, whenever the farm is threatened by a powerful foe, it can transform into a spear that when combined with Hiraku's peak physique (another gift from God), it can one-shot even a dragon.

Jagged Alliance: The character "Unnecessarily Ruthless" Reuban got the "Ruthless" part of his name for wiping out his own family with a cordless hedge trimmer. The "Unnecessarily" bit was added because, during the process, he had to recharge the appliance twice. The hedge trimmer in question is actually in-game as a melee weapon, and Reuban gets some added lines when using it.

Mount & Blade features a variety of more or less true-to-life weapons, including low tier improvised equipment often used by peasant units. Common peasant weapons include carpenter's hatchets, sickles, pitchforks, and farming scythes. Most of these weapons are generally useless to the player as you pretty much always start with something better, such as a basic sword or a crossbow.

Fire Emblem started introducing these as "joke" weapons in the 3DS-onward games. Fire Emblem Fates features a Hoe as a type of club (which is actually not a horrible weapon, despite being only as strong as the basic Brass Club, due to ignoring the target's terrain bonuses) and a Broom as a type of lance.

Invoked a lot in World of Warcraft, especially with a lot of leveling weapons. Shovels, pickaxes, fire pokers, cattle prods, meat cleavers, and indeed gardening shears, are all quest rewards. In addition, in an absolute pinch, fishing rods do actually do damage. Some of the higher level rods can in fact do quite a bit of damage: and in certain scenarios will actually outperform normal weapons because of their speed. There was a cheese strategy for soloing Malygos back in Wrath of the Lich King that involved a particular fishing pole, since Malygos was immune to practically all kinds of magic: rendering the usual strategies and gear completely useless. His only real weakness was his lack of self-healing, meaning that your best option was to use a fast weapon on a character specced for high mobility. A certain fishing rod obtainable in Dalaran through a certain quest, had one of the highest speeds in the game: on what was technically a two-handed weapon, usable by an Arms Warrior (most of the other fast weapons in the game, naturally enough, are daggers).

Rusty and Co.:
Madeline the Paladin is all about this. She first shows up wielding an alleged "holy avenger", which turns out to be a simple hoe. Then the gnome who originally sold her the hoe shows up offering a "+1 trident", which is actually a rake. When Madeline reappears in a later scene, she's armed with a spade. She more recently lost the vorpal spade in an ambush, and has since picked up a +2 Trident of Warning (formerly a pitchfork). Should be noted that this actually is a Trident of Warning, as seen here. (A Trident of Warning detects hostile aquatic life.)
Anti-Madeline, who is Madeline's Enemy Without, at first brandishes a miniature scythe (since she's a few inches tall). She's soon switching to dynamite, however.

Resident Evil 4: The farm Ganados are armed with various gardening tools, including hatchets, pitchforks, and sickles. Occasionally, the Zealots in the castle area wield full-sized scythes, which they can throw if you're far away. Unlike all other thrown weapons, scythes fly in a straight line and the enemy will never have another one to replace it.

Dungeons & Dragons: The Mattock of the Titans is a massive matttock (a digging tool with an axe blade on one side and a horizontal blade like a sideways shovel on the other). It's so massive that it can only be used by huge or larger beings like giants in most editions, but it does tremendous damage and also lets them dig with supernatural speed.

Mass Effect 2: During his loyalty mission, Mordin claims, "Have killed many, Shepard. Many methods. Gunfire, knives, drugs, tech attacks, once with farming equipment." According to the Shadow Broker's files, he killed a Krogan by stabbing him in the eye with a pitchfork.

Total War: Warhammer: Bretonnian Peasant Mobs tend to be armed with mixed assortments of farming tools, such as sharpened pitchforks and spades, due to not being permitted to own true weapons and these beings the best they could grab on short notice when drafted.

The Wheel of Time: In the beginning of The Gathering Storm, an ex-soldier farmer tells his neighbor to rework his scythes into polearms or a sword in preparation for the upcoming Last Battle. Several peasant armies are seen throughout the series using such rudimentary weapons, but they tend not to do well, especially against trained soldiers.

A Song of Ice and Fire: The peasant levies used to fill out the armies of Westerosi lords have to arm themselves with whatever tools and improvised weapons they can grab or scavenge on short notice. Since most peasants work as farm laborers, this typically boils down to farm equipment such as scythes or sharpened hoes, interspersed with stolen knives or crude mauls made by tying rocks to branches. Against trained knights and castle guards, these rarely prove effective weapons.

Magic: The Gathering: The Innistrad block features several equipment cards that are common tools, such as a pitchfork, a mattock, and a butcher's cleaver, with the fanciest of all being a silver-inlaid dagger. Flavor-wise these indeed represent the weaponized tools of Innistrad's peasantry, who would otherwise have no defense against the setting's other inhabitants; demons, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, zombies, and all other manner of horrors.

Plants vs. Zombies allows you to purchase a rake which will kill the first zombie who steps on it.
Additionally, in each (typical) level of that same game as well as its sequel, each of your rows has a lawnmower which, as soon as one reaches the end of the row, will activate, clearing out all the zombies in the row.

Team Fortress 2
The Pyro's Back Scratcher, a rake with increased damage, increased health gained from health pickups, but decreased rate of healing from dispensers and Medics.
The Soldier has the Market Gardener, a garden shovel which does a Critical Hit on enemies while the Soldier is still on air from a Rocket Jump, at the ignorable cost of slightly slower swing recovery. His standard melee weapon is a trench-digging shovel, which understandably can also be used for gardening purposes.

Dead Rising emphasizes improvised weapons that you find in a mall. As such, this trope comes into play with mostly joke weapons like rakes or the like, but certain ones can be effective or turned into other weapons.

The Second Try: Shinji and Asuka use gardening tools to fend off wild animals once or twice in the After the End chapters. They apparently never kept guns around the homestead, and given their history it's not hard to see why.

In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines the bush-hook is the ultimate melee weapon, edging out even the mighty katana for sheer limb-cleaving damage potential.

Gravity Falls:
The Mystery Shack's shovel makes its rounds as a weapon, primarily against zombies (first time was against gnomes, the second time actually was against zombies).
In "Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons", Mabel chooses a rake as her weapon when going to rescue her brother from an evil wizard.
