garden vogue - muck boots

Spring! That's a word, in my mind, that is synonymous with 'wet.' With the recent rain we've had, my flower beds have been quite soaked and muddy. But that never stops me from working outside, as long as I have my garden Muck Boots to wear. They are 100% waterproof and perfect for soggy spring days, or after a summer thunderstorm when you just *need* to get out in the garden. With a thick sock inside, they feel comfy like slippers.  What I really like is that I can slip them on and off without even bending over. Plus, they are easy to scrub and wash off with the hose. No more wet feet!

garden vogue - netted cap

Not what you thought, right? My garden vogue is certainly not haute couture. It is utilitarian attire that makes gardening easier for me.

The gnats have been swarming like crazy lately. You can see clouds of them in the air. If you've ever had a mouthful of gnats or had them fly up your nose, this netted cap may not be as funny as you think! Mosquitoes can also be nasty on hot and humid evenings. Laugh if you will, but guess what? I no longer care what anyone thinks. (Although I must admit that 20 years ago I wouldn't have been caught dead in this hat!) Ultimately, bugs NOT in my mouth = happy.

Netted hats come in quite a wide variety of styles. They can cost anywhere from $1.50 to about $40.00. Mine is the penny-pinching $3.95 variety. It does the job, and keeps all those extra calories out of my mouth.  A must-have.

Note: I also use 'Buggins,' a plant-based gnat repellent spray that you can pick up just about anywhere for about $5.00. It is safe to use on children ages one year and older. Buggins smells good too.
