Hoes are still used by gardeners all over the world today. They are usually a long wooden handle with a small blade set at either in-line to the handle or at 90 degrees with a socket at the end - the blades can be many shapes. The variety with the 90 degree blade is usually termed a "mattock" (this is the kind used in ancient Egypt and still used in many parts of Africa today). The ancient Egyptian word for "hoe" was written hnn in hieroglyphs.
Mattocks have been used for thousands of years for digging over plots of land (they are less likely to injure the back than using a spade) and both mattocks and hoes have been used for weeding between rows of crops or taking out a long-narrow trench for planting leeks and other vegetables.
