Matron grows vegetables and fruit in a Hampshire garden. I've been growing veggies since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Some traditional varieties and old favourites as well as new ideas. I share my garden with my allotment assistant Daisy the Labrador. On Twitter as @MatronsVeggies
Birthday celebrations in the Matron household this weekend. But would you wear these?
How about this brilliant invention The Egg Skelter. An ingenious contraption to store your home produced eggs in the order in which they were laid. No more do you have to write the day on each egg as they are laid. Great fun too!

I was born 20 yards from our allotment. My parents used to 'dig for victory' and never got out of the habit. I grew up on an allotment, so growing veggies is a way of life. I am also qualified as a dog behaviourist and I have set up my own business, www.blackdogdna.com

Those wellies are fab!
Personally, I dont think I could pull the Wellies off. But they are fab!
I love the egg skelter!!!!!! Why don't I have one? Where can I get one? Are you on commission?! lol!
Great post and Happy Birthday!!

Not sure if I could wear the wellies - maybe if you cover them with plenty of mud..?
Do you know where the egg skelter is from? I would love to get one for my parents.
Boots are silly fun but that egg thing is awesome!
Yes I would! Fantastic wellies! Egg skelter looks familiar!
Love the egg thing; not so keen on the wild wellies!
Happy Birthday!
I don't know about the wellies, but I'd love an Egg Skelter :-)

I would pass on the wellies, but would love that egg skelter ;-)
Many happies - all the best people have birthdays in May!
The wellies, hmmm, probably not, but the Egg Skelter is wonderful.
Click on the Egg Skelter and I have put in a link to the website!
Those veggie wellies might scare small children - so I probably would not wear them. They would make a fabulous piece of garden art though!
Love the wellies!
Just thought I would say I've been lurking on your blog for a while and have now started an allotment blog of my own. You can find it here - http://allotmentdad.wordpress.com/
Hope you stop by!

Happy Birthday weekend Matron. Great Blog, loved the chickens exploring piccies the other day. Wellies are fantastic, go on, be brazen, set a new trend in wellie chic!!
Marian
Hm, not me, I prefer low-profile clogs. But you will be so spiffy, and hope you had a happy birthday! Love the Egg Skelter.
I most certainly WOULD wear those wellies! How funky!
Happy Birthday - love the wellies, they're even wilder than mine! If you don't like them you could always plant things in them!
The egg-skelter thingy is a bit fabby too!:)
Is it wrong that I'm considering getting chickens just to justify the purchase of an egg skelter?
Quite frankly i love both of your gifts, wouldn't mind them myself! Yip, the wellies will take a bit of attitude to get away with but they make me smile.
Happy Belated Birthday.
Those boots are something! Will be interested to see if you're brave enough to wear them... :-)
I'd wear them, in shorts, and in public, just to see my wifes face! LOL!
I WANT A PAIR!!! where did you get those fab wellies from??????
Margo, I think they were bought in the Auchan hypermarket..in Warsaw, Poland!
I hope your b-day was spectacular Matron! Those are the wildest wellies I've ever seen. I'd definitely wear them--or put up a tomato plant in them! That egg thingy is also very cool.
