I wanted to share my solution for the baby in the garden. I originally thought about wearing him while I was working, but with moving brush and tearing out weeds I tend to get myself covered in dust and fragments and that didn't seem like a good idea. So I found this thing online, and I love it. It's the Summer Infant Pop 'n Play Portable Playard. The neat thing is that the bottom is like a tarp, so the wet ground can't soak through, and it folds up into about the size of a camping chair. My son just played nicely by himself for an hour while I did some yard cleanup on Saturday.
