got loads of seedlings ready to plant out
but the weather has been awful and despite well drained soil, it's sticky and muddy and not good for digging over
BUT I WANT TO PLANT OUT NOW



i dont care if it's raining and muddy next week - i'll be out there digging and planting out .......

Me too, I'm getting cabin fever. What a time to have all the kids off school
I'm trying to finish off a couple (or five) sewing projects - but I want to be outside !

Stock up with fleece then!

I want to get out there and sow and plant but is it REALLY sensible in this weather??

Oh well- in that case, you'd better get a few of these in then!!!!....

Me too, very me too! I have half day today, I want to plant

Weatherproof gear I have for me, but planting seedlings or seeds into sodden cold soil is not a good idea. I'm going stir crazy too, and my little greenhouse is bursting at the seams (as are the windowsills in the house) but I'm afraid we need to wait until the soil is workable. UNLESS OF COURSE YOU WANT TO PLANT RICE!!!!

Or put some of it in containers

i had sunshine over the weekend!
i didnt plant out but the sunshine spurred me on to sort out the seedlings etc - and then i realised i didn't have enough so had to sow more seeds
it's all under control - and hopefully the ground will dry out enough to let me dig over and plant out sooooooooooooooooooooon ............

YAY! Sunny and warm all day - got the spuds in, the rest of the onions too. Beautiful

TwoSheds - did you cover the spuds and onions with fleece, or any other sort of protection, or are you just leaving them to their own devices? I was a bit wary of planting mine at the weekend, it being so wet?!
