    Continueing After the Two Week Mark

    I have moved the two week review on gardening in a kilt to the first post of this thread, so I can add to this post.

    * I've decided to wash the BK. That is the easy part. The hard part is finding a spot in the garden to put the gray water from the wash, LOL! It's been raining so much lately that everything is fairly moist out there still.

    * I decided to put this round of fig and grape cuttings directly into the ground in an okra bed from last year. I've also been watering the cuttings in with the laundry water from the washing of the BK. I'm taking a break from kilted gardening today, and I keep having to pull my pants up... I noticed at one point that my shirt had come up while squatting and leaning forward. This is never a problem in my kilt. It's a big problem while your gardening to have to constantly pull up your pants or pull down your shirt. I am starting to think that any issues with the kilt are small to some of the agrovating issues with pants. It's also just more comfortable...

    * Now that I have washed the kilt, I have it and the other clothes I washed on the clothes drying rack. I don't have a dryer, and this isn't a big deal in the spring and summer. In the winter I put the drying rack in my bedroom which is the end of my trailer that I keep heated or.

    The drying rack has legs and folds out like a table, so I am able to spread the kilt out on the top of it. I smooth out the pleats and so on as it is drying. I will still have to press it with an iron, but it isn't too difficult this way. That's how I do all my kilts.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
