Do you dry your laundry outdoors and what do you call it?

[Dahliadaily]

I LOVE pegging my washing out 12 months of the year if I possibly can.
it’s not just the freshness and the brightening of whites, there’s some kind of meditative satisfaction going on. And saving electricity of course.

I call it “pegging out” because that’s what my Mum called it.

Even on a freezing day like today it’ll get mostly dry and finish in the dryer

I recall reading on here once that there’s not much point putting washing out six weeks before Christmas or six weeks after, and that’s the rule of thumb I tend to go by. It’s as much because of the lack of daylight as it is the weather. I tend to stop bothering to try to find a dry day in early November, and then often in mid to late February we’ll have enough sunshine to make it worthwhile again. At this time of year everything goes in the tumble dryer or on a clothes horse in the garage, no matter what the weather outside!

I've had 2 loads out today. It was very windy plus the sun. That's more important in winter
My late DM used to put the "whites" out in frosty weather, she said that bleached them.

Yes I hang my washing out an calling it hanging my washing out, not pegging it out. Though I do use pegs and hang them out on a line.

Only hang it out in spring, summer and late summer / early autumn if still warm enough.

I don’t have the time in the wetter, damper months to hang outside then bring out to hang up again.
