During the week of Memorial Day Weekend I had the opportunity to use my newly purchased Garden Genie Gloves.

At first, they felt strange. They do take a bit of time to get used to. I had some Columbine Plants to transplant.

I added 2 Columbine plants to Lily’s Garden. I had a couple of great locations. They were right at the entrance of the garden. First I loosened up the soil with my spading fork.

I followed by creating a hole with my small garden shovel.

Next I placed the columbine plant in the hole. To give it a great start I used a solution of Miracle Gro Quick Start to pour on the roots.

Now it was time to give the Garden Genie Gloves a try!

I have to say they saved me time. The right glove with the plastic claws knew just what to do! In no time my Columbine Plants felt right at home!
