New gardening gloves
With all the cold wet weather we've been having here in the northeast, I
have to content myself with small steps. I went to a local nursery to pick up some plum tomatoes and I spied a new glove on the display by the checkout. It's called "The Ultimate Summer Glove". It's got latex fingers and palm with a polyester knit back. Normally I just use good dishwashing gloves (Playtex or the like) in the garden because they have the best finger feel. The downside is that they're not particularly sturdy so it's easy to puncture or rip them and because they can't breathe, my hands are soaked after a short bit. I usually take a medium but I was able to squeeze comfortably into the small size, which made for a better fit around my fingers. They're very comfortable and even though the latex fingers are a little thicker than the dishwashing gloves, I could still discriminate while pulling weeds. So, so far so good. We'll see if my hands sweat if it ever warms up around here. Oh, and they're supposed to be machine washable. Sigh. If only I could post about my awesome tomatoes and eggplant instead. Mary |
