day – lunch including utensils, snack, sunblock, chapstick, tools,
iPod, tissues, hat, phone, water bottles. Inevitably, I forget at
least one. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your viewpoint,
I've never forgotten the essential tools.
There's my runway-ready, high-fashion tool belt/pouch. In it, I've
got secateurs – those are the red-handled snipping tools, and it took
me several days to figure out how to spell that, but I finally found
it in the newspaper after nobody I asked could tell me. Then there
are my No Slip Assembly Grip gloves. They're pretty smelly, but they
they've helped keep my hands relatively blister-free since I finally
convinced the bosses to give 'em to me today. I thread one of my
water bottles through the waist belt so I don't have to run down the
row for a drink. Finally, I've got a bag or two of 1,000
'horticultural ties,' which are the exact same paper-covered
twist-ties you get with garbage bags back in the states, but I bet
they cost more because they're labeled for a specific purpose.
