In Search of the Glove

I went everywhere I tell ya….they want way too much for gardening gloves. After gardening my fingers off, I needed something that accommodates fingernails. But I didn’t want to spend a fortune and I wanted comfort and the ability to thin carrots with gloves on. Know what I mean?

The first hurdle is cost. What is too expensive? $20, 25? I thought under twenty for a year of gardening would be reasonable. And boy did I have a hard time finding the glove that fit the bill. Finally here they are.

My new Ethel glove. Leather tips for the nails and a very comfortable nylon for the body of the glove. I thinned my winter carrots just fine. $16.95 at Home Depot. I’ll let you know if they last a year.
