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??!?

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. ;)
