I usually do too, but rarely wear boots, just when I am digging, which isnt often.
I need to wear Wellies to go into my garden at the moment. I wish I
had waders.

When we moved here the "orchard" bit beyond the bank was under water
from November to June most years. I created raised banks to plant the
apple trees into. For 15 years the back's been squidgy, but not
immersed. This year is like travelling back in time.


I dont even bother with boots when digging up the evening's new potatoes either.
I can only plant things that have snorkels.
