Come around my neighborhood and you will find that many backyards have a garden. They offer bountiful harvests of delicious fruits and vegetables each year.

This Saturday, May 1 a few brave souls will take part in the 16th Annual Nude Gardening Day. Okay, for the record there is actually a website devoted to this cheeky festivity. Lawnstarter.com recently published a list of The Best Cities for World Gardening Day.

Probably the most cracks too.
