What is claimed is: 1. A wheel barrow storage rack comprising: an elongate vertically oriented body having a top end and a bottom end, the top end mountable to a wall; a wheel barrow support carried at the bottom end of the body; an adjustable bracket assembly vertically slidable along the body; and a wheel barrow catch pivotally carried as part of the adjustable bracket assembly, wherein the wheel barrow catch is pivotable relative to the adjustable bracket assembly between a stored position and a raised position, the adjustable bracket being slidable along the body when in a released orientation and frictionally stationary on the body when in a locked orientation, wherein the adjustable bracket is a wire form part having a pair of elongate transverse cross-members and a pair of connecting bars with opposite ends connected to ends of the elongate cross-members, and having an intermediate cross-member spaced from an upper one of the elongate cross-members traversing between the connecting bar and defining a body receiving gap between the upper cross-member and the intermediate cross-member, wherein the body is captured within the body receiving gap. 2. A wheel barrow storage rack according to claim 1, wherein the wheel barrow catch includes a transverse catch bar and a pair of C-shaped connector bars extending from opposed ends of the capture bar, each of the C-shaped connector bars having free ends pivotally coupled to the other of the cross-member of the adjustable bracket. 3. A wheel barrow storage rack according to claim 1, further comprising a pair of connector legs, one each extending oppositely toward one another from a lower end of the adjustable bracket connecting bars, and wherein the wheel barrow catch includes a portion pivotally coupled to each of the connector legs. 4. A wheel barrow storage rack according to claim 3, wherein the wheel barrow catch further comprises a transverse catch bar and a pair of C-shaped connector bars each terminating at a free end coupled one each to one of the connector legs of the adjustable bracket. 5. A wheel barrow storage rack comprising: an elongate vertically oriented body having a top end and a bottom end, the top end mountable to a wall; a wheel barrow support carried at the bottom end of the body; an adjustable bracket assembly vertically slidable along the outside of the body; and a wheel barrow catch pivotally carried as part of the adjustable bracket assembly, wherein the elongate vertically oriented body is a wire-formed configuration with an upper body section and a lower body section, the lower body section being generally U-shaped and including a pair of generally vertically oriented spaced apart side sections each terminating at a downward facing hook near their top ends and each integrally interconnected to one another at common bottom ends bent to form an up-turned hook defining the wheel barrow support, and the upper body section also having a U-shaped configuration including a pair of generally vertically oriented side sections integrally connected at common bottoms defining a transverse cross-member and having a support bar connected to and transversing between the side sections parallel to and spaced from the cross-member, and wherein the down-turned hooks of the lower body section are hooked onto the transverse wire of the upper body section such that the lower body section is pivotally suspended from the upper body section. 6. A wheel barrow storage rack comprising: an elongate vertically oriented body having a top end and a bottom end, the top end mountable to a wall; a wheel barrow support carried at the bottom end of the body; an adjustable bracket assembly vertically slidable along the body; and a wheel barrow catch pivotally carried as part of the adjustable bracket assembly, wherein the adjustable bracket assembly has a pair of generally parallel, spaced apart cross-members defining a gap therebetween, wherein the body is captured with the gap between the pair of cross-members, and wherein the gap is sized to permit the adjustable bracket to slide vertically relative to the body when a plane through the cross-members is oriented substantially perpendicular to a plane of the body, and wherein the cross-members frictionally engage the body therebetween when the plane of the cross-members forms a downward facing acute angle relative to the plane of the body. 7. A wheel barrow storage rack comprising: a body having a top end, a bottom end, and arranged to be mounted to a support wall in a generally vertical orientation; a wheel barrow support formed adjacent the bottom end of the body, the wheel barrow support arranged to engage a first portion of a wheel barrow; an adjustable bracket assembly, the adjustable bracket assembly having a pair of transverse cross-members arranged to directly engage and straddle the body, the adjustable bracket assembly securable to the body at a plurality of vertical locations; the adjustable bracket assembly including a wheel barrow catch comprising a downward facing hook arranged to engage a second portion of a wheel barrow; and wherein the adjustable bracket assembly is shiftable between a released position in which the adjustable bracket assembly is slidable relative to the body between the plurality of vertical locations, and a locked position in which the adjustable bracket assembly is secured to the body in a selected one of the plurality of vertical locations; and wherein when the adjustable bracket assembly is in the locked position, the adjustable bracket assembly is maintained at the selected vertical location exclusively by friction between the cross-members and the body. 8. A wheel barrow storage rack according to claim 7, wherein the top end of the body comprises a hook for mounting the rack, the hook arranged to engage a horizontally-oriented rail. 9. A wheel barrow storage rack according to claim 7, wherein the body, the adjustable bracket assembly, and the wheel barrow catch are each formed of wire. 10. A wheel barrow storage rack according to claim 7, wherein the wheel barrow support is an up-turned hook configuration positioned at the bottom end of the body and defining a wheel barrow bucket receiving area. 11. A wheel barrow according to claim 7, wherein the wheel barrow catch is pivotable relative to the adjustable bracket assembly between a stored position and a raised position, the adjustable bracket being slidable along the body when in the released position and frictionally stationary on the body when in the locked position. 12. A wheel barrow storage rack according to claim 7, wherein portions of the adjustable bracket assembly and the wheel barrow catch are dip-coated in a resilient, friction enhancing material. 13. The wheel barrow storage rack of claim 7, wherein the body includes a pair of vertically oriented side sections, wherein each side section includes a free end, and each free end forms the top end of the body. 14. The wheel barrow storage rack of claim 7, wherein the body includes a pair of vertically oriented side sections, wherein each side section includes an inwardly bent section angled toward the other side section and terminating at short, upwardly extending parallel intermediate sections, wherein a C-shaped curved end continues from each of the intermediate sections and terminates at a rearwardly bent end, thereby forming the top end of the body. 15. The wheel barrow storage rack of claim 7, wherein the top end of the body is adapted to receive a cap, the cap arranged to secure the wheel barrow storage rack to a mounting surface. 16. The wheel barrow storage rack of claim 7, wherein the top portion of the body includes C-shaped portions having down-turned ends, a cross-bar attached between the C-shaped portions, a first attachment plate attached to the cross-bar, and a second attachment plate attached to the down-turned ends of the C-shaped portions, such that the first and second attachment plates are arranged to secure the wheel barrow storage rack to a mounting surface. 17. The wheel barrow storage rack of claim 11, wherein the wheel barrow catch further comprises connector arms, each of which includes a loop for capturing a portion of the adjustable bracket assembly, wherein each loop freely pivots relative to the adjustable section, thereby allowing the catch to be pivoted relative to the adjustable section. 18. The wheel barrow storage rack of claim 13, wherein each of the side sections further includes a downwardly extending guide section near the bottom end of the body, wherein each of the downwardly extending guide sections continues to an upwardly curved section, thereby forming the wheel barrow support. 19.
