    Agree with @Dovefromabove When I saw the thread title, I automatically read Plants as opposed to Pants but I still read on to try and discover what it was all about.  Amusing and in some cases, obviously a bit painful but I don't think there has been anything shocking or unpleasant in any of the posts so far. 
    I'd agree it was a rather bizarre question but it isn't the first and it won't be the last.
    I wouldn't question what people choose to wear altho I do admit that some of the film stars and celebs forgot about underwear and obviously didn't look in a mirror before parading themselves on TV ;)

    Apologies if the thread upset some people. I appreciate the insights that the forum gives - the Potting Shed topics too - the best way to clean a mattress, how to put in external light fittings, how to manage building works. It's all been super useful over the years. The bickering I can live without; the shared understanding I find very valuable.

    Glad it wasn't just me that thought there was an "l" missing !
    There are certainly some interesting points of view on the subject. 
    Neighbour across the road crouches down to water/spray his box hedge so that he is at the same level of his young son. This gives me a fine view of half of his posterior and also the top of his underpants (so l know he's wearing some). Bear in mind that l have voile curtains so he can't tell if l'm in the room or not.
    I'm sure he's not doing this deliberately but surely he can feel the chill air/warmth of the sun on his backside ? I'm just waiting for a passing driver to become distracted.

    As someone well endowed with boobs I have been self-conscious about what to wear when gardening. These days I wear a long gardening overall and I don't have to worry about low cut tops or bum display when I'm upside down in a flower bed in full public view.

    What a thread!  Made me chuckle.

    I don't seem like anything that's worth getting your knickers in a twist about :)

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I have to say I thought it was a typo and the OP had missed the L out of plants.

    It's all just another form of rewilding, I guess. :D

    Many moons ago when I really was 27 and @WonkyWomble was under the crab apple tree in her pram, I was gardening on a hot sunny day in shorts and a bikini top .... it wasn't until a passing lorry driver sounded his horn at me that I realised I'd bent down and 'fallen out of the middle'  :o 😳
    Fortunately I'd never recognise him if I saw him again ......... I've no idea if he'd recognise me ... I don't think it would've been my face he remembered 🤣
