what do you wear when you garden?

my third oldest pair of sneakers. two layers of gloves, latex ones underneath regular cotton gardening gloves. jeans and an old shirt. sun visor if necessary.

Old cargo pants with all those pockets in which you can put your seed packs, pruners, etc.

Hey Naturist

Welcome!

Down here you need to keep covered up, no matter how hot it gets!

-Long sleeve 100% cotton shirt
-Long, loose pants 100% cotton - but not blue jeans, atleast for us women.....ever try to pull off sweat-soaked blue jeans! Not a task done quickly!
-A wide-brim hat, even when theres no sunshine....great for swatting at things.
-Sweat band around the forehead.....if you wear glasses, sweat loves to pour down the inside of the lens.
-A good pair of steel-toed ankle high boots w/socks...Fire Ants 'KNOW' when You are not wearing socks!......Cottonmouth water moccasins, although you can usually smell them first.
-A good pair of leather gloves, except when planting, I need bare hands to plant.

? What do you wear?

Old pair of leather walking shoes recycled into gardening shoes, with cotton socks. When it's warm light cotton long pants, an old tee shirt, my back brace, straw sun hat, and #45 sun tan lotion. When it's colder, old sweat pants (usually from the thrift shop), old tee shirt plus old sweat shirt and the back brace. What is this, a beauty contest?!!!

If I had the guts and didn't mind the mosquitoes, and I was out at night looking for slugs and bugs that only come out after dark...and providing DH came along...I'd just wear (as Marilyn Monroe used to say): Perfume.:O :8}

it used to be as little as possble but as I got older and found I am allergic to many plants (especially zucchini) and get some delightful cases of dermatitis i now wear lots of clothing.

jeans (heavy long pants) either rubber boots (if wet) or one of several well past their prime shoes (if dry), sunglasses, sun screen (or a long sleeve shirt), gloves, a bandana on my head (I hate hats). This year I added a mosquito netting hood to my assamb

Whatever I happen to have on when I go out the back door. Depends what day it is and what the weather is like. Sometimes its jeans and a tee shirt, sometimes it's shorts and a tee shirt. Sometimes it's whatever I wore to work (of course, that's not for SERIOUS get-down-in-the-dirt gardening, just nip-out-the-back-door and do a quick snip or trim). Of course, if it's cold out, I'll have on a sweatshirt and/or jacket with the ever-present grubby OLD blue jeans!

heels and a hat.

Snicker. Yea, right, in my husband's fantasy.

Hiking boots and shorts and a t-shirt, hat and sunscreen. Spray my boots and ankles with bug repellent due to all the ant nests (I do not like getting bit by those little red ants at all). When the weather is cool, jeans. If I'm yanking out plants, long sleeves, as I get too itchy otherwise.

With a name like "Naturist", it almost sounds like you'd wear nothing! But of course, your name would be "NaturAList", if that were the case.

I wear whatever the weather calls for. If it's really rotten (freezing rain, for instance), I'd wear the house. Can't get much gardening done, but at least I'm comfortable, and I can brew a pot of tea!

In the spring and late fall, I wear those stylish leather women's winter gloves that do nothing to keep a woman's hands warm in winter -- great for pulling thistles, and since I inevitably lose one of a pair, I have lots of mismatched leather gloves for both hands.

If I've found time to shave my legs in the last week, I wear shorts. If not, jeans.

If I'm working in the community garden, or in my front yard, I wear stuff I wouldn't mind being seen dead in. If I'm just in the back yard, to drop a bucket of kitchen scraps into the composter, my jammies will do. Since it can take over an hour to drop a bucket of compost into the composter, especially in the summer when there are so many vegetables ready to go in the garden, and because I'm surrounded by neighbours' children of varying larval stages, AND because I've had two children myself, I can't just pretend the world doesn't exist on the other side of my fences and wear only a crown of laurels and a bikini of buttercups. Darn it.

But thanks for asking! I needed the smile.

I wear grubby shorts,ot jogging pants, tank tops or tees, barefeet sneakers, hiking sandalls or sneakers depending on how much digging I am doing.
Scary thought~! this is my usual outfit whenever I can get away with it and the older i get the more I claim age to wear whatever whenever. By the time i am in my 60's i figure no one will even raise an eyebrow if I start now.
Love this site!

right now,hunter orange,although the moose week is over....got me a sporty orange vest and a fancy orange knit hat. Under that I have thin,black stretchy sweat pants and a black fleece. All set for halloween,I certainly am. Oh, and plastic blue garden clogs and green Mud gloves...how's that?

Same for me. Whatever I'm wearing. If I know I'm going out the door for some heavy-duty work, it's one of my two old pair of jeans, or sweats, and of course t-shirt or sweat-shirt depending on the temp. If it's raining, like Elfie Elfie, the house. When it's really hot, shorts, but not too often.

I think Gardenz would win the beauty contest......
