Normally I would see a garden glove as a garden glove as a garden glove, but recently my gardening endeavors made me reconsider that thought process (let's just say I was tired of getting cut, among other things ). I got a pair of peach-colored, 'toughtek' ones (just very nice women garden gloves, in short) that I found to make a world of difference; I'm a bit bolder and more aggressive, which can make the pleasant toiling more efficient. So far I think this pair is great, but I wonder if this whole toughtek thing is either old news or, um, new news to the gardening community. Anyone else experience these things presently or in the past??
Earlier this spring, someone asked what to do with a gardening glove that wore out. I wondered how that happened, as I don't know how many times I have caught myself holding my right glove in my left hand, while I gardened bared handed!
This spring I found a glove similar to yours, but the top was a knit cotton, and the palms and fingers were coated in a flexible, tough ruberish plastic. They were comfortable, my hands did not sweat. They worked wet or dry. They fit tight to my hands so they were nimble and I found myself taking them off ...when I was headed back to the house.
So there are good gloves, and you can get them to fit a womens hand, and they did make a difference.
Now if I can just find the article on what to do with a wore out pair?
