Thinking about gardening

6:55 PM Things are dying about but seed catalogues keep appearing. Crank this up sort of makes one want to go scratch the earth. Bill -- S Jersey USA Zone 5 Shade http://www.ocutech.com/ High tech Vison aid |

Bill -- S Jersey USA Zone 5 Shade http://www.ocutech.com/ High tech Vison aid Gardening, ranching and farming are about the cycle of life. Nothing lasts forever, and some things only last one year. It's all about rebirth and whatever that means to your inner being. I personally like the winter to reflect on what the new season will bring. Prepare. Plan. Then, as it warms up, watch your plan flower of flop. Either way, it's an enjoyable life experience. Steve |

Depends more on the pair - Obviously the OP means each of the same material... would be silly to compare the insulating quality of latex surgical gloves with asbestos oven mitts. |

I saw a pair of those at one of the extreme outfitter stores. i make my under gloves without fingertips because i need to keep a grip usually g, sounds like a competitive shooter's glove where the palm is covered with a recoil pad and usually with rubber inserts to enhance grip while leaving the fingers exposed for improved trigger sensitivity. past makes a really good one. but full fingered gloves under mitten flaps are quite warm, being double layered. layers, worked for me then I got nice gloves with thinsulate. lee |

Depends more on the pair - the pretty ones of either sort are USELESS, that is so very funny to me and just about what I said to my wife about my truck, it's a work truck, its useful, its not supposed to be pretty. but my thinsulate gloves are great as are the pair of windstop polar fleece mittens. thinsulate is some good stuff. my wife gave me a pair of really warm gloves to wear while driving tractor doing winter land cut overs. they are leather with thinsulate lining. before that I'd put a jersey cloth glove inside of a leather work glove and before that I'd put 3 pairs of socks over my hands. |
