Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

[Bugbear]

Went in to town and got the citrus fertilizer. I also went to the grocery store... I'm well stocked on food and stuff. At the grocery store, I also got a couple of giant oatmeal cookies and ate one of them. The rest of this is copied from a post in my gardening hose thread.

Ok, I went to Lowes, but not Home Depot. I found a black belt with leather on the ends, and woven polyester for the middle part. I think this will end up as my casual belt. It came with a thic padding for back support and so on. I think that part of the belt will be fine for a gardening belt. It has velcro and can be taken off the belt and made into a belt on it's own. A little hard to explain that well. Anyway, the leather/polyester belt is a bit long because it had to go around the padding. I haven't decided what to do if anything about that. That was twenty dollars.

I then found a large tool pouch on sale for about fifteen dollars. It is ment to go on a 2" wide work belt, and it is made of black canvas. This will be very good to take the place of a sporran for garden work. I wouldn't wear it for casual dress of course. It looks just like a standard tool pouch, but it is canvas and not leather... It does have the metal loops on the front for hanging things like hammers and so on.

I have a review of the walmart knee highs I bought last week because I wore them into town today. I am going to keep these as my gardening socks because I noticed they are slightly shorter than the JC Penny knee highs with the red stripe at the top edge. They would be fine as scrunchy socks, but I would rather have the slightly higher socks for casual wear, and this will allow me to keep those in better shape. Still, the Walmart knee highs are exactly what I needed for working in the garden.
* I need to clarify something here. I am talking about the very bottom end of casual here, and as I have said in other posts, I would not wear these socks with a tartan kilt, only the canvas BK, or something like that.

I guess I could add in what I wore. I went with my BK kakhi canvas, black sporran, black and grey thin sweater (inside kilt), and the grey flat cap. I wore the zebra kilt pin and black hiking boots, also. I noticed my hiking boots felt a tiny bit tight, perhaps from the thick socks, and it was a little uncomfortable after walking around the stores. I think it will be time to go shoe shopping some time this year. ;)

* I picked up a large package of pig ribs at the grocery stor today. I almost always take a look at the meat section of the store I go to. They have good quality meat there, and sometimes they put things on sale. I'll buy a big roast or something like that and cut it into steaks. I can usually keep my freezer full of things like that by looking for deals. I usually buy a sack of chicken breasts too. That costs more than buying the whole chicken I guess, but I don't like chicken boans.
