Who else suffers from this? It usually appears at the same time as tomato fingers, which is the dirt and green that is ground into the fingers from tying and pruning tomatoes.
Today I decided enough! Instead of settling for the usual shower scrub, after the day I had I opted for a foot soak in the kid's tub and a good scrubbin'!
Finn came in and saw me perched on the edge of his tub with my feet dripping permadirt on his tub walls and said "ewwww, gross, MOM, go in your own bathroom! But I don't have a tub in mine, and I'm too short to stick my feet in the sink and stay upright!
One scrub brush, mint soap & scrub and pumice stone later, voila! Apparently it does come off, who knew?!
But apparently the flip flop tan is real!
That was pretty much the best part of the day. I will say that our weather is beautiful, lower 80's and no humidity, nice breeze - that made working in the garden all day very bearable. The work today however, was pretty traumatic. Today was tomato blight day, and I spent the entire day trimming, spraying and disinfecting, hoping for the best. A little too traumatic to post photos of it actually, maybe tomorrow.
"almost ooops!" - I had this combined with my other post today until I realized that the shop I urged people to visit was listed and I surely don't want anyone googling their shop and seeing my permadirt feet instead :)
I'm rockin' the flip flop tan, myself. I do, however, need to get on the pumice stone bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteRibbit
Flip flop tan here too....and yep permadirt. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you had squeaky clean feet under all that permadirt all the time! Love the flip flop feet, too. (Will I ever get around to putting polish on my toenails this summer?)
ReplyDeleteI have part flip flop and part garden shoe tan. I tend to get the same permadirt too....must be catching!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Dirty feet porn. I had permadirt on my thumbs and index fingers last year. It's what happens when you work with dirty wet gloves. I get so paranoid that some kind so parasitic worm will enter my body through the permadirt. Oh well, you doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?
ReplyDeleteI had permadirt in my favorite leather sandals, so I tossed them in the washer with the jeans this morning. I haven't had the heart to get them out to see the damage. I figured I'd enjoy my dinner before I have to cry.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad everyone is admitting it, I'm not alone! Thomas you are cracking me up - parasitic worms?!!! LOL....
ReplyDeleteI should go visit my younger sister. She does manicures and pedicures. I don't have permadirt or a flip flop tan but I could use a good pumice and a pretty nail polish.
ReplyDeleteLove the title of this post!
Now I'm all freaked out about worms!
ReplyDeleteThere is also permadirt on carrots and beets. My Husband suffers from permagrease. It takes a two week vacation for that to even begin to come off.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a sufferer of this malady as well. It doesn't help that I compulsively go out to the garden our compost pile just to look (maybe another tomato has set that I missed or something...) That significantly adds to the permadirt, beside many of those unscheduled trips include barefeet.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I almost forgot I read this one on my phone the other night and couldn't comment, but I CRACKED up! I love this! Your definition just killed me!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got your permadirt taken care of and the boys got their bathroom back. :o)
