As a full-time kilt wearer, there is no way I would wear anything other than a kilt when gardening. In fact I have a kilt reserved expressly for that purpose, although I have also been know to wear it when washing the car. What is it? Why, a somewhat elderly Workman's model Utilikilt, whose deep pockets are perfect for holding secateurs, plant labels, plant ties, etc., etc.

Take care,
Ham.
