    Must have a huge garden if you need a Hiking Outfit  ( awesome or otherwise ) as well as gardening boots.  If Oliver is quick, he may get an ad in for a sturdy bench too  :D

    I've been wondering about a boiler suit type outfit like some of the farmers here wear but I'd boil in it once spring gets under way properly.  T-shirt weather here this pm.

    And, with or without good boots, really not practical for female gardeners in urgent need of "relief".

    I think I'll just stick to recycling old clothes after all @B3.  I have a fine pile of old sleeveless, short-sleeved and long sleeved tops for the changing temperatures and old shorts, cut offs and pants that'll last me a while.

    It's just that sometimes I'd like to feel a teeny bit smarter and cleaner like TV gardeners.   Do you remember Sarah Raven gardening in long skirts when GW came from Beechgrove?

    @Obelixx a long skirt could be useful if like me you leave it too late when you need a wee and then have to scramble out of trousers etc in a mad rush?

    Having a senior moment here and can't remember the name of it, but one of those all in one things a bit like a swimming costume with poppers in the crotch area. Very popular in the 80s.

    I well remember desperately closing the cubicle door dying for a wee and trying to undo the poppers.
    Then of course the contortions trying to do them all up again , only to feel at least one go "pop" as l was strutting my stuff on the dance floor.
    If more than one went then you could be in trouble as what looked to the outside world like a camisole top began to bunch up in a very strange way....

    I never did try those @AnniD, even when I was flexible enough to do all the contortions.

    @debs64 probably easier to down trousers than gather voluminous SR type skirts in a hurry!
