I'm on the lookout for some solid garden gloves that can withstand frequent use. I've been gardening nearly every day, and while I know no gloves will last forever, I'd love to find a pair that can hold up for at least half a season. Using my hands isn't really an option since the dirt is pretty rough. Any recommendations?

I swear by my leather gloves for all kinds of work, including gardening. I treat them with mink oil to keep them tough. They run about $20 for two pairs at Sam's Club, which is a steal considering they're super durable and protect against many kinds of wear. Definitely worth a look if you're into serious gardening!
I've had great luck with these Bionic Rose Gauntlets for delicate tasks like weeding. Sure, I go through them in about a season, but they're well-built and last longer than most. I also love my bare bones work gloves for general use, but if you're dealing with roses, these gauntlets are a must—they're designed for folks like us!
For me, Digz gloves from Home Depot are a lifesaver! I have a pair that’s great for planting and another for tougher jobs. A little tip: if you wash them with mild soap and let them dry after you finish gardening, they last way longer! Just keep the dirt off them whenever you can.
