World Naked Gardening Day

[jojo54]

Did you know that today (1st Saturday in May) is deemed World Naked Gardening Day and people are encouraged to garden in the buff?

I think I'll pass, its too cool and raining.

Yeah, I'll pass too, as a kindness to my neighbors.
And anyway, I get way too dirty with clothes on, I don't even want to think of the possibilities without....
A long time ago, on a ranch far away, my DH and I would ranchsit for an elderly couple, the wife of which was a legend in those parts for doing just that, only not just on WNG day, but throughout the growing season. She did of course protect her head from the burning rays with a wide straw hat. Smart woman.

NO WAY!!!! Too much ME to get sunburned. (Or neighbors to sicken.)

LOL, only if I get to homestead way up in the mountains where nobody can see me.

My inlaws have 33 acres in a pretty secluded hollow. They'd been known to run around nearly nekkid on a hot day. You learn to call before you come by.

If I had known I may have tried it. But I am pretty sure I would have thought may way out of it. Hmmmm.... Do I want to be known as the "bright winter white guy" found dead of hypothermia in the garden or not!

Thanks for the laugh.

soooooo disappointed to get this information just as the day ends lol !!
Nope! never, never would have to the nerve or urge to try that!

I've done that . . . but maybe since it wasn't WNG Day, it might have constituted a felony, or something. Confession is good for the soul, however :/.

I had a long driveway but it wasn't ideal. I could NOT see when people turned in off the road. So, they'd come over a little rise and - there was the garden!

Fully aware of this fact of geography, I became a creature of habit. However, you can only spend so much time in the sweet corn after you've done everything you can think of, in the way of good gardening practices. I mean, you just have to venture out from those tall green corn plants and wide row spacings at some time.

So, other garden venues saw something different of me.
