    Gardening to me is like taking a whipping or having to rake pinestraw. I have yet to understand the need/allure of a damn garden. That is why God gave us grocery stores.

    With that mindset there is no point in hunting or fishing either.

    Might as well just buy your meat from the grocery store

    With your given success regarding everything outdoors related you come in contact I can see what you have this mindset. Everything is starting to make sense now.

    Nice guys, HA, those zucchini are big.

    I thought the kennel was a tomato cage, that's something I've always wanted to build. Like a walls and a roof, but slanted, house style, but fancy.. not like a goat cage or anything. Just to keep the critters out, the walls and such made out of maybe fancy chicken wire. So like a fancy chicken coop.

    for all you gardeners........

    World Naked Gardening Day is May 6th

    World Naked Gardening Day is May 6th. Are you prepared?

    World Naked Gardening Day is an opportunity to pull weeds, plant flowers, and harvest vegetables while getting some sun where it doesn’t usually shine.

    While you might get a little dirty, the intention is good, clean, fun in the sun, and a move towards becoming more comfortable in our skin with “non-sexual nudity.”



    Inspired by World Naked Bike Ride events, Mark Storey (consulting editor for Nude & Natural magazine) and permaculturalist Jacob Gabriel founded World Naked Gardening Day as a project of Body Freedom Collaborative (BFC). Some of Storey’s other mischievous pranks are rooted in guerrilla gardening in urban environments.



    Corky Stanton of Clothes Free International assisted Storey with web hosting and promotion of the project. Stanton also provided web hosting and promotion for World Naked Bike Ride from the beginning of the project.

    The event is not intended to be a large gathering at any particular location, but something people can practice on their own time and at their own will, however they please. Storey notes in the New York Daily News that,

    “No particular organization owns World Naked Gardening Day.”


    The website acted as a seed for the concept, which has been left to grow organically on its own through participants providing the necessary nutrients in order for it to continue to grow.

    The first annual World Naked Gardening Day event took place on September 10, 2005. In 2007, the event date was moved to the first Saturday in May where it still takes place to this day. The day before, International Permaculture Day, also takes place on the first Sunday of May.



    Beyond the fact that the event is fitting to coincide with good weather, the objective was not to conflict with with the World Naked Bike Ride. Besides, spring is the ideal time of year to be in the garden anyway.

    The event is intended to be non-political, and more about creating a positive body self-image.

    “It’s not about exposing your body to other people,” said Stanton, in an interview with Today. “It’s about body acceptance and being one with nature on your own. … We actually do these events in secluded areas.”

    Special thanks to the hosts of the World Naked Gardening Day website for allowing the use of these photos. For more information on this event, please visit the website wngd.org/ or their like their page on Facebook Facebook.com

    You're right, he'd be sitting at the entrance of the store listening for them to gobble

    5 days later and the squash plants have really taken off. Just put fertilizer to them yesterday. Haven't turned the sprinkler on yet. Might not have to at this rate.

    It's planted 330 tomatoes, 300 feet of potatoes, 100 various pepper plants, 100 squash,100 cucumbers, a pond of string bean seeds and a pond of okra seed. A few other odd vegetables in there too. Haven't had much time to get it right been planting corn and cotton from rembert to Timmonsville.
