Blogiversary Week, Day 3

It's Day 3 of my week long blogiversary bash.  I must tell you, today was almost balmy here.  The sun came out, the temperature topped out in the low 50's...  It really makes a girl want to get out and work in her gardens. 

Gardens that take a lot of watering in the summer

and weeding year round.

And I know from experience that all that digging in the dirt,

well, it just plays havoc with my hands.

So I became a glove wearing gardener,

I go through 2 or 3 pairs per season, I wear the tips right off the gloves... that's a lot of weeding!

So, today is all about taking care of the gardener's best tool,  their hands.

A pair of Atlas nitrile gloves, my favorite for how thin they are, I feel like I'm not wearing gloves at all.  Gardener's scrub and lotion for their hands, made in our neighboring country of Canada.  And last but not least a great little scrub brush, because even with gloves I get lots of dirt under my nails.

Even looking forward to weeding soon,
Chris at Red Gate Farm
