Yeah, my gardening clothes are simply functional, and usually very stained. I am a messy gardener!
I've always woken between 4AM and 6AM. It's when I have the most energy. I usually die around 11AM - noon and don't get much done the rest of the day. Thursdays have had to be the exception, as my helper can only come after noontime. It's been a killer day for both of us.
