To wash or not to wash?
I need specialist advice on fashion in the garden ......
Should I wash my gardening jacket? It is an old blue hoody and nicely 'seasoned', the pockets are full of very special things such as bits of wire, seeds and a very grubby looking hanky. I like the hood because if the wind blows, I just pull my hood up, it protects my neck from the breeze and stops my sunhat from blowing away ......
I am worried that my jacket will lose its character or fall apart if washed, what would you do?
yes I would wash it in case it harboured germs..

Yes, I'd wash too...maybe it's the dirt holding it together!I'm very posh, I have two jackets
One is brown and doesn't show the mud (the cuffs are held in place with elastic bands - courtesy of the postman - perfect fit) The other is navy with a white collar and cuffs, which I have to wash when the cuffs get grubby.

Goodness no way, you are a gardener girl, wear it till it falls apart. One thing missing, my Grandad used to carry mints in his pocket,loose not in paper and he always said get a mint Anne and one day his teeth were in there but I was brought up so well I had to eat the mint or he may be upset, so get some teeth for your pocket!|
