Garden gloves, do you or don't you?

[thistlebloom]

Those are what I wear, Thistle'!

I've got blue & grey - I wonder if they have extra large in any other colors .

You can wash 'em . . ?

Steve

I've only seen the x-large in black, but I suppose it depends on where you buy them as to what colors they order. Yeah! Totally washable! I just toss them in the washer and line dry (the dryer makes the rubbery stuff kinda stiff after a few cycles. )

I have about 12 pairs of the cheap brown jersey gloves - and keep em all around the place - but usually only use em when trying thru prickly plants or pulling things

most of the time i get halfway before a chore before i remember i shouldve worn gloves

Glove wearer here! And I swear by those nitrile gloves, too. Like someone else mentioned, getting them slightly small is a good way to guarantee that they fit well enough to be able to do the finer work.

I love your sig line, curlykate! Isn't that the truth!

Well...I'm a princess..I always wear gloves because I want my nails clean and hands soft! I wear the rubbery plastic kind. I'm not sure if that is nitrile? I prefer the soft cloth types but I know I would always forget to wash them.

I have both the leather type (0for tough jobs and rabbit care) and the cheap $1 store garden gloves(I usually go through several pair every season and usually have they end up with holes especially in the finger tips which is the whole point of keeping my nails and fingers clean lol). I may have to try those cloth/rubber ones.

I usually end up with my gloves off, but I am a stylist and my hands cannot look too horrible so I do try to wear them. But then again they are what they are because well, my garden feeds me and my family and it is my "release" time (even though can be very frustrating due to weather issues and weeds ect) Nothing better than digging in the dirt and yanking weeds ans picking fresh veggies to boost my mood LOL

pulling weeds and taking a hoe to the ground are great anger management lol

Yes those are the ones, I like the brighter colors so that I can find them, I get mine from harbor freight on sale about a dollar per pair..
They do wash up pretty well..I have issues with my hands and they really help with grip

When my gloves get really dirty- like if the soil is mud...I just wash my hands with the gloves on- and let them dry. Works pretty good.
