    It seems like everywhere I look I find a pair of gardening gloves. Look at them all! Made me laugh to see them all in one place. Reminded me of all of the garden shoes in Sjoerd's shed.

    I'd print that and hang it up somewhere. It just seems to represent the essence of a gardener.

    Your collection of gardening gloves looks a lot like mine. Every time I tidy up the garden shed I seem to find at least another two pairs. (I think they're breeding in there. :D )

    You've got a great collection there. :D I rarely wear gloves, but do put one some disposable ones now and then.

    My gloves all have holes in them..my hands are so small and all gloves are too big for me...toward the end of summer I don't wear them anymore unless I am working with something that is really pricky...

    I've only got one pair right now. I wear them when I'm digging or pulling sticker weeds. I left my worn out ones in Arizona. That would make a neat picture along with the shoes. dooley

    I have lots of gloves too, but find that once the soil warms up I prefer not to wear any. Except for my special "Rose gloves" that I wear when working with prickly things.

    cool glove pic...

    i have a lot of gloves in different places lying around but not so many varieties as you.

    ive started using gloves more since ive encountered some creepy looking spiders hiding at the bases of plants and stuff..
