Your legs are going hairless BECAUSE you wear long pants. Jeans used to rub the hairs off my calves every winter. No longer. My mum says I've got the best legs on a 66-year-old she's ever seen. They're yet to turn veiny like the last turkey in Sainsbury's. If you've got 'em, flaunt 'em, says I. I often garden in the buff. I have a secluded garden. Nothing worse than unnecessary white bits. Important though not to get confused by instructions on seed packets that tell you when to prick out....
