Calorie burn Questions

I just spent about an hour and a half in the garden. I did not wear my heart rate monitor and was wondering if anybody has worn their HRM during gardening and how accurate the calorie burn calculator on MFP is.
I did work up a good sweat, but it says for 45 minutes somebody with my build would burn 242 calories.
Thanks in advance!
