I agree, I have had to modify my gardening to discomfort when working.

I take a plastic pail or milk crate with me if I'm going to be down on the
ground weeding/transplanting/etc, so I'm sure I can get back up!
(A hoe handle will do in a pinch).

I've got a kneeler like this

except mine has an extra layer of knee-friendly upholstery fixed on
with ducktape.

I never used to use it much, but nowadays I seem to use it daily, I
do a lot more gardening kneeling than I used to, and need those side
arms to push meself back upright after.
