Does “Grow Damn You!” count?

Lost Time? Well there was the time I traded old man Jones some home twist chewing tobacco for a pint of his 20 year old sippin whiskey. Made it back to the house in time for breakfast...the next day.

What are gardening gloves? That those gloves city slickers wear to the garden?

We only got one pair of shoes a year. Darned sure weren’t wearing shoes in the garden, the hay field, corn field or anywhere else they weren’t required by manners and etiquette.
If you’ve never felt the squish of cow manure between your toes...you ain’t country.

So what’s my score?

“So what’s my score?”

Um...how about we just say, ‘You Win!’ I’m not messin’ with an Old Virginian, that’s for sure! :)

And I wear gardening gloves, but only because I *DO* have to, ‘Go Out Among The English’ from time to time! ;)

What are gardening gloves? That those gloves city slickers wear to the garden?

Or, anyone who's ever had to have a piece of plant matter surgically removed from their hand. Not fun!!! Did you know that plant stems don't show up on xray?

I was a bare-handed gardener up till then. I still skip the gloves if I'm just digging or planting. Anything that involves tugging on stems? I'm wearing the bulletproof gloves for that.
