Gloves and Knee Pads

To protect the hands wear
treated rubber gloves until they
are uncomfortably warm and
then switch to the new light
weight leather ones which fit the
fingers well enough to permit
delicate work. This year try a

which look rather odd but make
gardening much less painful.

Instead Of waiting until April to
exercise the mare, started a
