I worked as a gardener one summer and let me throw some ideas your way. Waterproof knee pads would be amazing! And consider overalls - no hiking-up-your-pants-every-time-you-stand necessary. I've actually got a pair of overalls on my want-to-make list for this very reason, but it's more likely I'll be loafing in them.

Yes! I love overalls. I have 4 pairs! I was thinking of using a water resistant nylon fabric, maybe.

I currently have bruises all over my knees, so it seems like a great idea right now. Ouch!

Well, I don’t know how you find the energy and time to put this together every week, but I continue to enjoy it all.

I actually save all my not so great pants projects for gardening! Those French gardening clothes look like what I’d wear out for dinner! But I do agree about the overalls. That’s why I made mine, ‘cause I got tired of pulling my pants up all the time after I bend over, esp with muddy hands. The real problem is, my sewing of special gardening clothes would take up all the time I’m supposed to be gardening.
