It started off interesting.
A woman, going into her garden....naked!
I could never go into my garden naked. Then again, I don’t even have a garden, seeing as I can’t grow plants to save my life.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
I was given a wonderful book to review thanks to BookSparksPR. The book that I’m reviewing is called The Naked Gardener by LB Gschwandtner. I know. That’s a mouthful, isn’t it?
The Naked Gardner tells the story of Katelyn Cross, who ends up taking five women friends into the wilderness. The plan is to enjoy some girl time while talking about life, as each woman has her own issues going on. One of Katelyn’s issues is should she commit to her boyfriend Greg who lost his wife to cancer? (I say yes, he seems like a nice guy.)
I enjoyed the book, and would recommend it. If you’d like to buy a copy, you can go here.
Now, whenever I see a garden, I’ll probably think, “That chick from The Naked Gardner book would be in the buff here.
Would you strut your birthday suit in your garden?
**I received a copy of the book to review, but the opinions are my own**

umm... I have a hard time being naked in my own house, much less outside, where there is sun, and the possiblity of someone seeing...
I love being naked. As long as the temperatures allow for it, I will run around in as little as possible as long as I feel alone - in our flat and on the balcony. Yesterday I almost answered the door without a top. (It was the neighbor. He kept staring at my boobs, which were barely covered by the jacket I had grabbed.)
All I can think about is bug bites and poison ivy. Ick!
Whether it's a mouthful or not would depend on how naked the gardner really was.
Since I even turn out the lights to streak from my bedroom to the bathroom, I'd have to say, Nope. No naked gardening for me!
Chick lit is sooo not dead, by the way! I am always looking for new chick lit books to dive into.
I wouldn't even have a garden to go buff in anyways because I can't keep any plant alive myself either. I've even killed a cactus before.
I can't resist...this joke:
A woman's garden is growing beautifully but the tomatoes won't ripen. So, she goes to her neighbor and says, "Your tomatoes are so red and ripe, but mine are green. What can I do about it?''
Her neighbor replies, "Well, it may sound absurd but here's what to do. Tonight there's no moon. After dark I go out into my garden and take all my clothes. Tomatoes can see in the dark. They get ebarrassed and turn red. You should give it a try.''
The next day her neighbor asks
how it worked.
"So-so,'' she answers, "The tomatoes are still green but you see the cucumbers!
when I saw the title I thought it was about the chic in Boulder, Colorado who is a naked gardener but has lots of not so happy neighbors.
Mmmm.. sounds kinda interesting.. but there ARE WAY TOO many things scuttling and flying about in south georgia to walk around naked outside...!
just saying!!!
Glad you liked the book, sorry I can't come up with a quippy answer that would fit in here.
Is it warm? Is there a fence? If so then sure....might as well be naked. That part doesn't bother me, but I don't want to acutally garden.
thanks for the review! Sounds like a decent read! And I have no idea why everyone keeps saying chick lit is dead. We should petition Meg Cabot to come out with something big and start the market back up again.
Not a naked girl either here!!! Great review! Kori xoxo

I might strut my stuff in a garden if I had my own private one, on a compound, with really tall walls!
I very much doubt it. . . though I have been known to skinny dip from time to time! ;)
TMI here... my mom mows the lawn topless! Luckily they live in the forest so she's mostly shaded by trees. Mostly.
No - I can't say I would. I'd be giving too much of a show to our neighbors!
I barely want to strut my stuff in my garden fully clothed, let alone naked! :)
How did you get hooked up doing book reviews?
That would be a definite "No!" The one time I tried to lay out in my backyard while reading a book at 8 months pregnant in a bikini, my male neighber (who is a firefighter btw, need I say more?) decided that was the time to pop his head over the fence to see if the kids could play. It was VERY awkward and I will make sure not to show so much skin in my garden again!
As a side note, you commented on my blog which gave me a HUGE thrill. It was like someone famous had come to visit, lol, because I have been reading and loving your blog and sense of humor for a long time!
I am adding it to my reading list! I need some new books to read
Man, if I had a garden I'd totally go in it naked.
Or maybe not.
It's quite cold.
Hell no. My neighbors are RIGHT NEXT TO ME as in, NO SPACE and, though I think several of them might really enjoy my flab instead of their own wife's even less-appetizing bodies, I will refrain.
Nothing makes me happier than being naked, but I'm not much of a gardener. Maybe I could be a naked something else instead?
I kill enough plants. The flora world doesn't need me strutting around and expiditing the process.
I'm with Julianna! Plus, it's kinda cold.
I'd probably find a million excuses to go visit the garden if I knew the lady gardener was naked...
:)
I haven't heard of this book but will check it out. I can't grow anything either so there would be nothing in the garden to hide my naked self behind!
If I could subtract 20 years, 30 pounds and add 40 feet of fence, SPF 50 and 60 degrees to the temperature, sure!
NOPE. I am not a naked person. Some people are naturally naked-people. I am not one of them.
My parents said I was a prude from the day I was born. Didn't even like changing in front of them when I was little.
So....no naked gardening for me and, preferably, no naked gardening for my neighbors.
Of course, I am getting a little more pervy as I age so there are exceptions to every rule.
Thank you very much.
