That Klein bag is probably great, but really, you could make do with any regular toolbox.
If you're going to take it outside into the dirt, maybe look at something like a Bucket Boss. The plastic bottom of the bucket will do a better job of shedding dirt than any kind of fabric will.
In the long term, you will probably graduate into either a workbench, or multiple toolboxes sorted by function. For instance, I just put all my plumbing tools into a separate 16" toolbox because my old primary toolbox was getting too heavy to carry around.
I just read Adam Savage’s book Every Tool’s a Hammer. It had some good insights into organizing a work space. For example, drawers are where things go to die. If you put it into a drawer, you effectively lose it. Put it out on a rack or a shelf where you can see it. He talks about “first-order retrievability” or being able to pick a tool up without moving any others. I’d been fighting with organizing my main toolbag. Whatever I needed seemed to always be at the bottom. Last weekend I moved everything out of the bag and into a 5-gal bucket organizer. I can now see all my tools. We’ll see how I like it after a few weeks of use. The major question is whether it is stable enough when I through it into the back of the car.
The other thing I’ve been doing is simplifying everything. I had a long bout of analysis paralysis about a new workbench and a router table for my garage. A month ago I threw all the fancy thoughts and designs away and spent a weekend building them out of 2x4’s and plywood. Now I have a bench that I’m working on instead of thoughts cascading through my head.
Nice gardening gloves, a bucket boss (https://www.amazon.com/Bucket-Boss-10056-Organizer-Pocket/dp/B00QQL2G18/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1543455818&sr=8-5&keywords=bucket+boss), Garden clogs or muck boots... and definitely go online and request some seed catalogs for her... Park Seed, Burpee, etc.
