I do not know if anyone else has been having this problem this past Spring and Summer, but my weeds and grass have been coming in strong where I do not want them! When I first started to week the flower bed for the spring to prepare for the flowers I was going to plant towards the beginning of summer, it was a jungle! Pulling the weeds was such a task and then after you pulled the weeds you then needed a small shovel to dig out the pesky roots.
After getting that annoying task done and planting the flowers, the weeds and grass came back with even more force. My boyfriend went a head and weeded for me. He said he was surprised how long it took since it was done before. I knew then we would be faced with them coming back again this season. So, I set out on amazon to look for a good pair of gloves and stumbled across these gloves that looked like birds feet. They have plastic tips that seriously look like the claws of a bird on all of the fingers but your thumb. I was reading the reviews and people were raving about how easy it was to pull the weeds and then you just used the plastic tips to dig!
I was hesitant to buy these at first because I thought it was too ridiculous to actually work. But, the price was right and I was willing to take the chance with them.
They arrived and I had them for awhile before using because I just was not willing to do the weeding in the flower bed. Well, it is now fall and I ordered a bunch of Mums to plant. There was no better time to try out the gloves than when now and I am so amazed! These gloves made it so easy to grip the weeds at the root and just pull them out. I also liked that with the tips it made it easier to grab and pull any weeds that were growing inside my Marigolds.
I am going to link the gloves here and if you are someone who loves to garden and have flower beds, I would seriously suggest getting a pair!
