You do not need a shed full of gear. A first-year kit:

1. Digging fork or spade — turning and lifting.
2. Steel rake — seedbeds and spreading compost.
3. Stirrup (oscillating) hoe — weekly weeds.
4. Hand trowel and a soil knife (hori-hori).
5. Bypass pruners.
6. Watering can plus a hose with a shutoff and a soaker line.
7. Twine, stakes, and a few tomato cages.
8. A soil thermometer — more useful than another decorative trowel.

Pictures of tools are less helpful than using them once. Borrow before you buy. Clean steel, dry wood handles, a drop of oil on pruner pivots — that is maintenance.
