Welcome Fellow Gardener. My garden is very important to me (along with Patchwork and Quilting
- well anything to do with sewing machines and a piece of fabric).
I garden in 5 acres of tropical paradise. Cuts and scratches in our hot humid area rapidly become inflected. I find a strong pair of cotton gardening gloves and a long sleeve cotton shirt buttoning at my wrists gives adequate protection (not to mention provides a barrier to those annoying mozzies and sandflies!)
I despaired of ever being able to garden or sew again. Hah, time proved me wrong. That or my damn stubbon nature of refusing to give in.
You will find a way.
Annie
