Don't understand why religion has to be dragged into a gardening forum, and yet it has been recently. Still... since it has, I love the saying "You are nearer to God in a garden than anywhere else on Earth."

so why mention it again? Just saying. IMHO religion is, at best, superstitious claptrap, and at worst , the most evil form of brainwashing and control devised by Man.
We are born Naked and a good job too as mothers could well object to a big duffle coat and hob nailed boots entering the world via their Bodies. Just a thought. Religion is a persons personal belief and we are all different, there is no point in arguing about it I keep my thoughts to myself having seen the Holy Land at its worst. Hot, Very Hot at 10am I will look to see if the neighbours are away for the day, sneak up to my sun spot and divest myself of the wooly underwear, long Johns and teddy bear slippers for a brief sun bath, I need the vitamins. Frank.
Nice one Frank! After hitting the wine rather more heavily than expected last night I have only just surfaced to make a cup of tea. It's gorgeous out there so I think a spot of nude weeding might be in order. @Blue Onion that sounds utter madness. On that subject I shall say no more.
I am going to say something about it: I really like the Mormons.. they are a people who 'walk the walk'.. following the values of their religion to the letter with a smile on their face. It is a great place for us to raise our children, as many of the values align with our family's. They are helpful, kind, and forgiving. The embodiment of a Christian. They are also intolerant of deviation. Suicide is the leading cause of death for 11-18 year olds in Utah (1). Many theories are it is related to the religious intolerance faced by teens within their family, as the areas of highest concentration are also the areas with the highest percentage of practicing Mormons. I am also not bringing religion into this discussion without reason.. last year our 90% Mormon school board tried to fire our school superintendent because he visited a nudist beach while on holiday during the summer! They spent over $15,000 of district money on lawyers trying to create a case against him. So mentioning it while discussing my concerns with gardening naked is reasonable. Okay.. let's get this party started!
I've done my bit. I moved 60 pots of agapanthus, added some osmocote to them, mulched them with gravel to see if deters the bleedin' vine weevil and set them out on the terrace for the summer. I hope watering the pots naked ( I did wear flip flops ) counts as "gardening"
Fire, the mind boggles. it depend on whether without a bra you get your eye poked out or you can strop your razor. My lot landed wearing summer clothes then complained it was too hot, even Bailey the dog flopped and barely raised his head for my last bite, he usually has his nose on my plate. Gardening was on hold I sit listening to them fixing things planning raves, there are a lot of very old Rockers blowing lights out up here, I thought half of them had already taken the last ride, do they keep coming back I ask?? Frank.

As an aside. Sorry @Hostafan1 the gravel doesn't work. I've tried!
