Well, let's just say in the spring I always wish I had!<br /><br />The gloves will apparently have a longer version available soon, and the same company does sell separate sleeves too.<br /><br />Elizabeth, I thought it was really neat that SonnyLights are available in both stand-alone and hang from the ceiling or shelf. I could use both!

That's where *I* procrastinate (though I do plant fall bulbs in fall, gasp!). The show sounds like a lot of fun and the P interview was hilarious. I like the word hijinks, too. It seems like rose pruning gloves should have sleeves as well, but otherwise they look nice.Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-91454191943608891962010-08-23T07:03:04.416-05:002010-08-23T07:03:04.416-05:00There's always next year Gail!

I think you'd really enjoy it. There's so much to see, lots of great garden industry entrepreneurs to meet and chat with, seminars to attend, and it's very informative and really a lot of fun.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-71103590827770146942010-08-22T21:07:17.312-05:002010-08-22T21:07:17.312-05:00Linda, I don't work in this industry but I sur...Linda, I don't work in this industry but I sure wish I had gone~It looks like a fun convention and another chance to spend time with good people.

Garden bloggers can get press passes though. The show is very newsworthy in the industry, and it's great having a chance to attend and report on it in our blogs and through other social media. I hope you get to come sometime. <br /><br />Maybe you need one of these SonnyLights to make your seed starting easier! ;)garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-30864404057750980692010-08-22T09:39:03.289-05:002010-08-22T09:39:03.289-05:00Now, why haven't I heard of this show before??...Now, why haven't I heard of this show before?? Mr. McGregor's Daughter also posted a few pictures of products from the show, so now I'm intrigued. Do they put this on every year?<br /><br />Those gloves look great for working with roses or any other thorny plant; how nice of the vendor to give you a sample pair. And good to see Renee's photo here; I can attest to her generosity to bloggers, too. I just wish more of the seeds I'd ordered had grown this year--my fault, not the seeds'.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-57202166015232323612010-08-22T08:25:49.813-05:002010-08-22T08:25:49.813-05:00was such a pleasure seeing you again Kylee! I feel...was such a pleasure seeing you again Kylee! I feel like we are dear old friends even though it was only a year ago we first met in person.<br /><br />I want one of those lights too! Narrowing it down to which one is the only hard part.<br /><br />I think you'll like the gloves. I was torn between the goatskin ones and the winter work gloves. I have a few pairs of Atlas thermal gloves - they're great for chilly fall days, but not quite warm enough for bulb planting on snowy days ;) <br /><br />At least you eventually get to the bulbs. I procrastinated for five years, procrastinating myself right out of winter and into spring when it comes to bulbs. We do finally have more of them than the daffodils that were here when I came, but it's only been in the last couple of years. There is so much room for so many more!<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you on GWR, and hope to see you again soon!<br /><br />Hi Alex, thanks for coming along! It's a privilege as a blogger, being able to get press passes to the show, which is not open to the public. It's such a fun event, and seems to get more fun every year. Meeting up with blogging friends, seeing brand new products, (some not even on the market until next year,) and even being offered products to test and review is very exciting!<br /><br />I hope SonnyLights will eventually become available to Europeans too. I have a feeling this is going to be a very popular item with a lot of appeal for home gardeners, especially with the explosion of vegetable gardening. Being able to grow such high-quality, sturdy seedlings with the technology the light offers is a great way to get the veggie garden off to a great start. <br /><br />I love our basement grow light (not a SonnyLight.) While it was pricey, it has paid for itself over and over every year since I first splurged on it. <br /><br />The SonnyLight can do some things a lot better though, than my sodium light, and I really. really. want. one!<br /><br />Hi Eileen, well, there's always next year! I hope you can plan to come. I'm already looking forward to it, and will definitely plan on spending more than one day there.<br /><br />I think you'd love these lights. They really are so pretty, they would make nice decor in any room in the house. No need to relegate these to the basementgarden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-77692133365268299112010-08-22T06:59:20.430-05:002010-08-22T06:59:20.430-05:00Linda, what a great tour.

I haven't heard from such a thing yet, but it would be perfect for me. Anyway, I guess in my part of the world we have to wait a little bit longer until this light get on the market. Smile, and I will show it at the right time to my husband... to give him a little nudge for the next birthday present :o).<br />Take care<br />AlexAlex aus dem Gwundergartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345838066384134549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-67282428462370961172010-08-21T22:16:00.665-05:002010-08-21T22:16:00.665-05:00Linda, how fun it was to spend the day with you!

A year is long enough, right?)<br /><br />Those LED lights were AWESOME. I want one. I would love to grow fresh salad fixings during the winter with that!<br /><br />I got the Atlas winter work gloves to try. We'll see how they go when I'm out there in the snow, planting my fall bulbs. (I'm The Queen of Procrastination, you know.
