I usually do too, but rarely wear boots, just when I am digging, which isnt often. I dont even bother with boots when digging up the evening's new potatoes either. And I wear my walking boots when I do wear boots in the garden too. |

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. |

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. We're still in a 10 year drought. And even when not in one, I dont ever get standing water in the garden except when I have watered too much. I dont even bother with boots when digging up the evening's new potatoes either. I can only plant things that have snorkels. Sooner you than me. I've only just got back into growing vegys after 50 years, mainly just because its more convenient to get them out of the back yard than to run around town for them roughy weekly etc. I dont bother with lawns at all and just let the backyard turn into a jungle, tho it didnt grow that much due to the drought. When I watered the area where the vegys were to go, just small patch, so I could actually turn the dirt over with a fork, the weed thought that all their xmases had come at once and they ended up well over 6' high very quickly. Some have turned into small trees, bigger than the neighbours brick shed, 10' high at least. Last time I said that in one of the gardening groups everyone decided that I must be growing marihuana |-) |

I just CBA to get the power drill out to dig the holes...
