Favorite gardening footwear
Some gardeners swear by slip-on clogs, others wear old sneakers or a favorite pair of boots.
I can't live without my trusty Australian-made Blundstone boots.
I was introduced to them by a garden designer friend who spends a lot of time on landscape construction sites.
The best thing about them is this, and it comes right from one of their advertising slogans: "No damn laces!"
My Blundies are light enough take me through the summer's gardening and dog-walking.
We walk at the neighboring tree farm behind our farm, kind of a rough place of dirt roads and tall grass – definitely not sandal territory.
That's my dog, Toby, happily nosing around.
Here's a link to the boots: Canadian site.
