Fred, I loved your comments under that post!! It really is fun hearing people’s strong opinions, which I guess is why Garden Rant is so much fun to read.
Thanks so much for stopping by and saying hello!! You have enough opinions, you really ought to start your own blog!

Genevieve, …….I am so glad that you like the no-no list on http://www.awaytogarden.com. I have had fun, both defending what people HATE, and giving my own list of NO-NO’s, but, I at least gave recommendations on how to correct them. I do wish MORE people would comment on all the topics Margaret posts. I also wish more people would comment back and forth to each other, so conversations could be had. That way MORE people would WANT to check in to see WHAT’S UP!

LOL, Daff, much as I love purple, I have made an exception in the case of my gloves. This style is my favorite, and while I’ll pull out the nitrile purple ones occasionally for a spot of annual flower deadheading, I get into so much stuff as a pro that I really need that bit of extra protection of the rubbery-coated ones.

The sacrifices I make for utility. I ought to poke around and see if I can find some rubbery purple ones like my blues above. I think Mud Glove used to make some.

Gen, Thanks for your kind words, and for putting me in such illustrious company! Love the photo of Ninja Gen (but am puzzled that you are not wearing your signature purple gloves).

Of course, no sooner than I allow people to gnome-bash on my blog, then my Thursday columnist Andre decided to defend their rights with this doodle:

I guess the gnome has a special place in the hearts of many. My only gnome here, a score from curbside one trash night years ago in a town nearby, lives in the barn, on the workbench (NOT in the garden itself).
