I think that I’ve mentioned more than a few times here that I often tend to do a good portion of my gardening work at night. Why? Because my snoopy old lady neighbor who is very lonely follows me around and makes my gardening work hell ’cause it takes me at least three times longer to get anything done when she’s outside watching me.

I love the dear girl but I’d rather sit and have a tea with her before or after I get my gardening done.

There have been times when I’ve gone outside and planted new plants in the dark. My husband holding a big halogen light so I could see.

Now I’m starting to think of less obvious ways to garden in the dark. What about a headlamp flashlight? This would be helpful too if I’m gathering earthworms for the compost or another area of soil in the garden too.

I came across a company called Opticsplanet.net and they sell streamlight flashlights, as well as a number of other brands such as Surefire and Pelican. They have everything from the headlamp flashlight I was fantasizing about earlier, to LED flashlights, pocket, gun mount lights, and flash light accessories. The company also offers discount pricing and free UPS on orders over $29.95 so I think I might just spend a bit of time over there browsing and see if I can come up with a way to light my garden as I work and defeat my nosy neighbor.
