Best hose for gardening?

[Bugbear]

Hay all, I've been doing a bit of light gardening in my canvas kilt this year. If it's warm I wear sandals, but I'm wondering what kind of hose would be best to garden in that wouldn't get ruined, or that would be easier to replace than the expencive wool hose. Would some kind of leather chaps look ok with a kilt?

It is so strange to look back at this early thread of mine now that I know a lot of you better Some of you I almost know personally. It's like I know who I was talking to now.

I see, from my other gardening thread, that Chef still has a problem with people gardening in kilts. It's delightful to re-read String's posts... James... at least there wasn't any skinning brought up.

Moosedog, you've been talking with me about gardening all along. It feels like this thread is from years ago, and I've only been here a couple of months.

The answer to gardening hose turned out to be thick gray, acrylic, knee-high socks with a red band around the very top. I bought them at JC Penny, and they work fine.

Thanks, all of you, for posting. It's been a lot of fun over the last couple of months.
