first year
Return to DiscussionsThis past summer, I had my first opportunity to garden nude on a
regular basis. Oh, I've been to an annual nude berry picking party for
the past two or three years and occasionally found a chance to slip off
my clothes in a garden from time to time, but this was the first time I
had a place where I could garden for an extended time, day after day,
nude.
We have friends out in the country in Wisconsin about 10 miles
from our home who are very interested in having several people share
tending the garden and its produce. They knew of my interest in nudism
and welcomed me to garden nude. Indeed, one of the owners announced to
the group, as we were meeting before the season began, that some people
might garden nude. Another friend of ours gardened there the year
before and he would occasionally garden nude, so I was not a pioneer,
though I ended up raising the bar considerably.
Normally, I would
arrive early in the morning, slip off my clothes, leave them at my car,
and go about my work nude. The owners, who live there, would be
stirring and eventually start their outdoor chores while I went about
my work. I generally tended a plot that was separate from the main
garden, but occasionally would come across one of them along the way
and we'd chat, me nude, them clothed.
I have never felt more connected to the earth than when I was nude, on my hands and knees, pulling weeds.
Generally,
I'd keep my clothes on when there was a group work party or if I knew
that someone was visiting. But we had a small work party on an
unseasonably warm November 2nd. I worked in my clothes for a while,
and then, while working in an area where I was separated from the main
party by several rows of sunflowers, I slipped off my clothes and
continued my raking nude. Not long after that, someone noticed and I
was assured that no one would object to my being nude around them. I
finished raking that area, then continued the rest of my days work nude.
It was a wonderful summer. I'm looking forward to more nude times in the garden next year!
