Why You Won’t Find Me Gardening in My Birthday Suit
Well, this is awkward…
If you landed here looking for tips on gardening in your, ahem, “natural state,” I hate to disappoint you. Turns out, search engines have no sense of humor when it comes to harmless fun in the garden. So that post had to get the boot.
But don’t worry. You’ll still find plenty of down-to-earth, fully-clothed advice here on The 104 Homestead—from wrangling tomato vines to figuring out why your houseplants are giving you the side-eye.

Thanks for stopping by. Keep your garden growing… and your neighbors guessing.
will be a bad sunburn
Every day is a naked day at my house. Just don’t cement naked. It didn’t end well for me.
LOL 🙂
I got so excited when I saw this post (I’m not kidding). Ever since I watched the movie: Off the Map with Joan Allen and Sam Elliott, I’ve wanted to live where I can garden in the nude. I have neighbors on one side that think we are crazy cause my husband wanders the yard in his underwear, and on the other side by a neighbor who told us when we moved in that nudity, gun shooting and drinking alcohol on this street of out prim and proper “Bible Belt” state is legal. I can’t wait to try. Sorry you were only kidding. This country is way too up tight! 😉 Linda
If I lived in the right location, I would totally do it. As you said, some people are just too uptight. Unfortunately, I have five neighbors in spitting distance of my house and a major road that goes right past us.
Where do I sign up. Great idea!
Oh my goodness, too funny! Thanks for the good laugh!
I,m sorry, Flowers
Well, I wanted to see what those tomatoes looked like but you held veggies in front.
I got a good laugh from this post! I remember one of the neighbor ladies gardening in her undies when I was a child. Very strange.
I think everyone has one odd neighbor. We have a guy who doesn’t realize at the sapling doesn’t block the neighbors’ views when he’s outdoors.
How fortunate this is coinciding with my 28th anniversary, we just might mix the two with some outdoor activities.
So many fabulously dirty gardening expressions come to mind, but I’ll keep them to myself. Happy anniversary!
This is AWESOME!! I keep away from my husband; I can barely get him to keep his clothes on already:) Great Post
Hilarious 🙂 And a very interesting holiday!
I wanted to have a naked fishing day but was told my worm was too small!
That is hilarious!!!
lol I’m going to have fun with this one.
What a fun read! Thanks for your humor!
A bit chilly for this in our area today 🙂
I think you can wear a hat and socks and still be considered an active participant…
Homestead is where you hang your ridiculously large hat.
Hubba Hubba.
Once a year I enjoy participating in World Clothed Gardening Day. That’s the day I go after poison ivy. My neighbors don’t stop by the other 364 days of the year for some reason.
Ouch! You crack me up 😀
Oh my goodness, I could only imagine what my family would think if I chose to celebrate! ;0 This is too funny and thanks for the giggle.
Hello…Naked Gardening Day is every 3rd Saturday of the month. The 1 time a year I for tourist. Shesh people. 😉
*This is my new favorite post. And I loved the neighbors are creepy enough as is. Tooo funny you are!!!
Don’t forget the zinc!
Why thank you. I do try 🙂
