My hands are really small and gloves always got in my way.

You CAN FEEL THROUGH THEM.
They can be had cheaper elsewhere, but Gardener's Supply carries my XS.

I'm on Team Gloves, specifically the Atlas nitriles that Critter mentioned above. When they go on sale at my local feed store, I buy a whole rainbow of them (except pink) to last through the season. I've tried several knock-off brands, but they are either thinner and/or don't fit as well. For winter, I use the thermal style of Atlas (boring gray but warm). Very recently, my feed store began carrying Wonder Grips 510 (only in orange so far) which are a bit heavier than Atlas but not as thick as the winter thermals. These are great for spring and fall when I'm doing a lot of serious in-ground digging. Nothing starts a project out better than a fresh pair of gloves.

I tend to dig right in with bare hands. I do have gloves though, in case I want to protect a cut or if I'm going to be going to a wedding soon!
