Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

[Bugbear]

Today, I put fig tree cuttings in a planting bed that I had removed a few small citrus trees from. It is a round bed, and has a rose bush in the middle. I put the fig cuttings around the south and west edge of the circle. Hopefully some of them will root and grow, then shade the rosebush. There's already a fig growing on the east side of the rosebush, but he has been cut back almost to the ground; he's becoming a bonsai. That's also where I've been getting all the fig cuttings. There is a car port that shades the roses after three or four in the afternoon, but really roses seem to do better out here with light shade all day.. Like under a mesquite tree or something.

I guess I should point out that I am sometimes also wearing the BK canvas while cooking . That doesn't seem to be a big deal for some reason... Anyway, I have a full knee length apron with pockets about waist level that I cook in. The apron is a canvas like material and has hamburgers, pickles, fries, and so on printed on it. I would say that cooking while wearing a kilt is about the same as eating while wearing a kilt; however, if I were using the oven, I would not wear an acrylic kilt. The canvas wouldn't be a problem around the oven; the wool probably wouldn't be a problem; I don't know about the PV, but it would probably be fine. If I were to start making bread again, I would say either a canvas just for the cooking, or a PV kilt because of the flower mess. I'm not a messy cooker, so I'm not too worried about my kilt getting stuff on it. It didn't seem that important, and I'm not putting on a kilt specifically to cook in like with the gardening. That being said, gardening and cooking are very much linked in my lifestyle, so the kilt goes with both. Oh and bla bla bla.

I do sometimes wear a blanket around in the house during the winter, but I don't like to cook while wrapped in a blanket... I'm not sure that a belted plaid would cause the same problems, but I don't have any of mine right now to try it out. That's probably not a good comparison anyway...

They are still working on the ground from the gas leak. I don't know how long that will go on. It's kind of been a big disturbing distraction... I think there are lots of things that this gas leak has been causing that have been blamed on other things, but I can't be sure.

Tomorrow, I hope to finnish moving those citrus trees. I need to do some more weeding too.
