I really enjoy working in the garden. I grow all kinds of vegetables. I love being outside in the summer time. As I live on a dirt road, sometimes I can weed the garden nude. It's really great!

Hi Tarsus...Gardening is great... I also like to cook and enjoy being able to go out and pull up some green onions or clip some herbs from my garden to enhance my cooking for my Family. Sounds like your'e having a real cold spell back East... It's very mild here in sunny? Cal and I need to get out and prune my rose garden and fruit trees .Some spring flowering trees are already beginning to blossom...Magnolias, acacias, marabalum plums etc.Take care and have fun browsing those catalogs when its too cold to actually get out in the garden.....Outdoorbare

Outdoorbare, your garden sounds like Eden. Are you able to enjoy it often, nude? My summer garden was finished off by a moose on Thursday. I have pictures on my digital of her chomping away at the few remaining dead leaves and stims. Have a great day. I enjoy your posts. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Do you have a garden at your cabin as well?

Not to under-mine this great club BUT www.netnude.com (http://www.netnude.com) has a message board designed soley for birding and gardening. They've talk about everything from gardening,lawncutting,getting the paper nude to what flowers to plant for humming-birds. Give it a shot.

Nude gardening is not discussed much in most forums, but it is far more comfortable than wearing clothes and cleanup is a snap.

I will probably have to move before I can even enjoy privacy in my own back yard.

I have a small vegetable patch some 30 by 30 feet and I maintain shrubs, flowering vines and a few small trees.

Most of us are in the dead of winter and I have often longed for a few things to make my yard suitable for nudity in the coldest weather. I would definitely have a greenhouse, or a glassed-in sundeck, a back yard sauna and a hot tub, but when it is not quite so cold, even a warm south-facing brick wall that blocks the wind would greatly extend your nude season. In my climate, fig bushes die to the ground most winters, but not if you plant them against a brick wall! Creating these warm micro-climates is a real boon to nudity as well.

Nothing I love better than being out in my vegetable patch on a summer morning, being as nude as I can get away with. One day I will be picking tomatoes and digging up weeds totally nude.

Snoboy....How exciting to actually have a moose come through your yard. I do spend alot of time in my garden and most of it is viewable from most rooms of my house and also the second story of /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif my 3neighbors homes....So unfortunately I have not ventured out nude,except one night when after getting in bed I realized I had left the water running.Back to the wildlife.....I have a covey of Quail that frequently pass through my yard and raid my stawberry patch.Lots of fun to watch........Trailscout I too would love to have a greenhouse... idealy with a rock wall on the north side with a waterfall spilling from the top into a pool surrounded by tropicals with a sandy area to lie on naked in the sun year around when I cant get to natures beautiful spots....Hows that for dreaming.

I garden and tend my acreage and walk down below across mine and neighbor's naturist areas nude all the time, as long as it's 40 and above and sunny, sometimes even down to mid 30s if sunny and no wind.

Here's a garden site: http://www.gardencountry.com/

They don't mind your saying you're a naked gardener, as long as you don't harp on it.

Ralph

Hi Ralph ... Thanks for the gardening site tip...I'll check it out. How great to have your own naturist area...You must have a great overall tan... /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[luvnaturism]

I did discover that it's not a great idea to prune the roses while nude. /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[Snoboy]

Luvnaturism, that is sooooo true. It could be very dangerous... /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

If you can't find what your looking for in these forums I don't know where you can.

There is a forum for almost everything under the sun on the garden web.

Steve

Nude in the North ,..Thanks for the tip on the Garden web site... Luvnaturism...Those roses can be vicious.... I usually end up with many sratches on my bod and snags in my clothes when pruning...If I could do it nude Id at least not snag my clothes /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[RalphVa]

Watch out in gardenweb. Spike, the webmaster there, is extremely intolerant. Mention that you're nude more than one, and he sends you to Disney.

I prune roses and pick raspberries nude.

Ralph

I had a great day last fall picking wild huckleberries au naturel ....no thorns...near Pt Reyes...and after a short drive was able to get naked again and splash in the surf at Limantor Beach.... Cant wait til the berries are ripe again. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

What have you rose growers out there found to be the best height to prune to?I got vicious this year and pruned them to about 18 inches..I usually leave them much taller..as most of the good growth buds seem to be in the upper third of the bush...Cold nights have returned to sunny Cal ...temps down to 33F so it should kee p some trees and bushes dormant a little longer.

[David77]

OB,
Experts would say that your pruning this year is best (assuming that they are not climbing rose bushes). Your post seems to indicate that you are aware that roses form only on the portion that is "new wood".

David77...I did leave a couple of my bushes at about 30 in to do my own test as to which produces the most high quality flowers....The problem I have at my elevation...700ft...is that all the nice new shoots will be about 2ft long and just starting to form flower buds when we get a cold snap that kills the bud and not the leaves.I figure if I prune short this year down to leaf axils where there are no visible.. as yet..growth buds I will delay flower bud formation long enough to avoid loss of my first crop. Does this make sense? /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Nude in the North]

The "Roses" forum on garden web is very active.
There are quite a few people from SoCal on there. I'm sure you will find plenty of information there.
Growing Roses in Minnesota is Quite different than growing them in SoCal. Here winter usually makes the pruning decisions for us. We just cut off everything that has died from the cold temps.

I go to the garden web quite often. I have never felt the need to mention nudity when asking/answering a question about gardening. But I do like to mention gardening while on a nudist forum.

Nude in the North...Thanks again for the tip... Ill get there yet...You betcha... /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[David77]

You ask "Does this sound reasonable?" It sounds reasonable to me, but I have no similar experience as in our climate, I/we prune our rose bushes when they are completely dorment and any former growth buds would not grow this new growing season. I'm glad that "Nude in the North" provided a rose growers forum, as probably someone there would have experence with your region.

Incidentally, I have relatives in southern California and it is interesting that they consider northern California a whole different "country" from southern California, as the climate is so different.

David77...Yes So Cal is quite different in more than just climate ..But it would be mainly desert without water from No Cal and the Colorado river. Im a native Californian and proud to be....And probably would not live anywhere else ....Although Snoboy made Alaska sound awfully enticing..Imagine actualy seeing baby moose in your backyard...Fantastic!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif
