Thanks folks, I ordered some Gloves-in-a-bottle.  Curious to give it a try.  Might even help when I am spinning yarn.

I didn't get a chance to compare ingredients, but I see this is not labeled or promoted for the protection like Yard Glove, I am not so sure this is going to work the same...

I found Yard Glove at morgancountyseeds.com/store.   A 4 oz. bottle is $7.99 plus shipping.  Expensive but worth it if it works. My skin is so dry that my hands are a mess during the growing season and I hate wearing any kind of rubber/latex/nitrile gloves. If yard glove works, I can quit being embarrassed about my hands.

Well worth it, it goes along way, you don't need much for protection. I had several of the 4 oz containers and gave them away  Sad because I had so much, now I just have my pump bottle....I will talk to the people that were marketing it, back a few years ago.

Odd, my hands never get stained. But then again I spent 25 years as a jet engine mechanic and always had clean baby soft hands. Still do. That and my long eye lashes make all the girls jealous.  Wink  Grin

I just ordered the quart size for 42.95 + shipping. The web site has a security error, so I used the phone to order: 1-573-378-2655

Well, the Gloves-in-a-Bottle does help.  Now I just got to remember using this stuff at the beginning of next gardening season.

Tag that's funny!  I used to know a butcher who had very soft hands...

My fingers do get stained with a bright greenish/yellow powder that is sometimes stick and accumulates quickly whenever I touch any tomato.  I have to assume this is potentially all the pollen that has been blown around by the tomato and perhaps other plants in the air.  I don't usually allow it to stay on too long for fear that I may end up rubbing my eye or face with it although I have never broken out, my mom seems to be allergic to touching the tomato plants when any part of it but especially the leaves have brushed up against her arms or hands.  She is not allergic to eat the actual tomatoes, just has sensitive skin I suppose.  I just rinse my hands while I am outside with the spigot and they seem to be fine.
