Whadda know!!!

Those are actual boots that you wear!!!

Was wondering if "Fat Lady Wellington boots" was some sort of common name
for pitcher plants.

Hi everyone, I love gardening but with the garden turning into a bit of
a bog I need some wellies, but being a large girl I cannot find any
that will go over my calves. Does anyone know of any big lady wellies?
Thanks for your help


Go to a farmer's suply shop. You'll find a wider range iof
work-wellies, and even the womens sizes are wider cut than the more
fashionable ones sold in shoe shops. Here, mens sizes start at 6 (37
European) and are cut more generously than womens. Or, at
horse-suppliers you can buy comfortable short (ankle length) rubber
boots called muckers, for mucking-out.


Otherwise, there's a very expensive French brand called Le Chameau,
worn by many professional gardeners here in Europe for the superior fit
and comfort. Iirc some models have expanders built into the calves .


oops, forgot this
