Wish I'd Thought of That

At the doctor's office today, I picked up a copy of "Real Simple" magazine.

They had a very clever tip for gardeners!

Before donning your gardening gloves, rake your fingernails across a bar of soap.

The soap beneath your fingernails blocks dirt from getting under them, and washes right out!

I don't know about you, but to me that seems like a real common sense solution to a prevalent problem.

 

P.S. On a wholly unrelated note, I actually dreamed about WEEDING last night. How sad is THAT??!?

Hey Sarah! Yeah I've actually heard of that trick before (or some variation). For me I don't really care for feeling of anything under my fingernails so I've never tried it. But yes, thats a great idea!

Instead I typically keep my nails short (or use to). I got in the habit of doing that when I use to play stringed instruments.

Dreaming about weeding? wow! If only that worked for getting rid of weeds. ;)
