Speaking of Spring

Wow! Finally a day of sunshine and mild temperatures. While my hubby was putting on a new roof on my greenhouse, I transplanted strawberry plants from my old strawberry bed into their new raised bed! I can't wait to help my grandson pick his first strawberry this June.

I tried out my new Performance gloves from Womanswork. I love them! As usual I was digging with my fingers into the bed soil to create the holes for the tender roots. I gave these gloves a good workout. They were very comfortable and my fingers felt quite protected. Handling the hoes presented no problem either. When I was done, I rinsed the mud off the gloves and then removed them to toss into the washing machine. My hands were absolutely clean and no dirt under my fingernails either. With cloth gloves it was not uncommon for the finer dirt particles to work their way in through the seams or even the mesh of the fabric. I am very pleased with the design and quality of this product and am very proud to offer them in my web store.
