I am starting to think about the garden a bit more now and am wondering what some of you do about this problem. I started to think about it when there was a guy on American Idol who sang the song, "Pants on the ground." If you missed it, too bad. Anyway, I want to know what some of the growers with big bellies are doing to keep their pants up while working in the garden.I started to experience this problem some myself last season and I know this is a common problem even amoung the lady growers who work in pants or even shorts. If you have this problem and have solved it or know of someone who has, now is the time to share. Oh, winter is almost over and so there probably won't be more posts like this one.

I was hoping that maybe Pap or Iceman would weigh-in on this topic. Losing weight, suspenders, gardening while nude or wearing bib overalls are obvious answers. I was looking for something more novel. Maybe that's all there is? Marv

You've been deceived. Loosing your trousers in the middle of a summer day is NOT a common problem, in fact it's quite rare. Don't worry about it until it happens, it seldom does.

Pap:
I am going over to Walmart's today to check out some of the customers and their solutions and also the sweat pants. Wearing the sweat pants with nothing in any of the pockets just might work. I knew you guys could come through for me. The backup plan could be the sweat pants combined with the duct tape. I think we are getting somewhere here. Pap, after the growing season is over do you just put the pants on the compost pile? Marv

Okay, I went over to Walmarts and reviewed the situation. I even spoke to several guys wearing sweats. I told them what Pap said and they agreed with him. One guy wondered if he had ever tried maternity pants? I told him I was uncertain but thought not? Another suggested putting button holes in the sweat pants and sewing big buttons onto the bottom of a triple or double X t-shirt. The buttons would hold the pants up. This fat guy was ingenouus. I am going with the sweats and I even found a big stick to hang them on. Thanks all.
