    Gardening Gloves Recommendation

    whatever you get, if its fabric or leather or similar, washing and storing it properly matters to its longevity! especially for thick plastic fabrics.

    Recommend a climbing Rose please!

    I have Blush Noisette. Not the tallest climber, by any means, but if you are looking for willingness to please it’s a winner. Flowers from May to December. Rot proof. not too thorny. :)
