Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

[Bugbear]

My wife & I make and can our own salsa. At our old house we didn't have much in the way of counter space, so we just utilized our old kitchen table
It's slighty better now at the new house we bought earlier this past year.

Salsa is a very good thing to make and can. Looking through my notes on canning, I would probably use a pressure canner for that. Any vegetables would be best done that way. The marmalade and jellies have a high acid content, and can be done with the boiling method... I just wanted to look that up so the information is alright.

String, hope you are able to can some stuff some day. I would say look up how to do it because it can be very very dangerous if the wrong bug is in there and stuff.

Actually Ted we utilize the boiling method, never had a problem.
My wife is the expert however (she's from East Texas ). I'm there to help chop the veggies, stir, & taste test

Now regarding gardening, never tried it in a kilt, but would imagine it would give great freedom of movement, though I think like Hamish & others I'd opt for a more utilitarian material (e.g. canvas) rather than an expensive wool one.

I'd also need knee pads rather in a kilt or not (munched my right knee in '86 on my Harley).
