Re: gardening gloves (was show of hands)

Oooohhhh good idea!  I sometimes wear the white cotton gloves (available
through pharmacies), under which I slather my eczema cream, and then put
on my gardening gloves, when the soil is wet.  
My kid's winter gloves work well, too . . you know those stretchy ones in
every color of the rainbow? I like them because they are snug (I have
small hands) and usually on their last legs at the end of winter. 
They're cheap too - so I buy them 10 pairs at a time - all the same
color.  That way if one finger or palm goes, I just reach for another.

Oh, the things we'll do to grow our gardens!
