When Gardening I have to admit that I look like a cross between Rab C Nesbitt and Onslow. I'm always amazed how Women gardeners can appear at the door looking quite reasonable, how do they do it?

You'd better not come to my house, respectable and gardening just don't mix.

This woman gardener looks like a gardener - what's the point of wrecking decent clothes?

Dunno...it's one of life's mysteries There's a lady lives across the road from me who "gardens" in a skirt and a pinny She does a bit of gentle deadheading, faffs around with a very small watering can...then disappears back inside looking immaculate ! Meanwhile, over on this side of the road....well I can't describe what I look like really, I'm far too embarrassed

When I lived in Scotland, there was a lady who gardened in her tasteful skirt and twinset and good pearls. She always wore her pearls. Her garden was lovely and she really worked in it. Her name was Mrs Rose Miele from Sicily who started the ice-cream chain in Moray.
I live in jeans with a bit of stretch and a polo or tee shirt. I am often gardening in pyjamas though until I shower and dress.

Well...if you can imagine a square of concrete, surrounded by a narrow "border" of bedding plants, a few coloured solar lights chucked in for good measure, and a plastic hanging basket of multicoloured pansies at the front door...well, that's about it really ;D
