My arms are tired. My legs are tired. My back hurts. I'm sunburned. No. Wait. I remembered the sunblock! I just feel hot. More water. But, I feel GOOD. AND my fingernails are clean. I love these gloves . . .
I've had lots of gardening gloves before, but my hands and fingernails always wound up dirty anyway. And I couldn't get my fingernails clean. I used to think it was the city dirt with gunk from the airport and all the cars. That maybe the dirt was a bit oily. But, no, country dirt doesn't come out either. And it's not like working with the horses. Your hands and fingernails get dirty then, too, but they come clean. And there's the bonus that they smell good. mmm, horsey smell. Back to the point - these gloves are awesome - I need to stock up.
And the gardening rewards . . .
These don't look so good. They seem to open and the petals fall immediately. But the scent!!!! I wish I could share it with you.

Hi Kathleen,
Beautiful iris and they do come and go in a hurry. Our sweer peas are lovely right now and put on a pretty good show, with a lovely scent. What kind of gloves are those? Are they comfortable besides protecting your nails? The color is right. Love, Pat
I want sweet peas! I hear about them a lot but never remember when it's time to buy plants. I don't remember seeing them in flats. Can I grow them here? Time to do some research. The gloves were cheap ones and I think (but not sure) I bought them at Rural King - I need to go back and check. And, yes, they are comfortable, so easy to work in. The graphic on them looks like a giant mosquito is really a bunch of flowers.
