I've mentioned before that our clay soil can move seamlessly from too hard and dry to dig to too wet and claggy.
After having had a lack of rain, for what amounted to eight months, the weather has turned wet. On Saturday, our soil was just right for digging and we had hoped to dig over more beds on Sunday. The problem is that with our weather it seems to be all or nothing and more rain fell on Sunday. Once the ground becomes wet in winter it tends to stay wet. Hopefully the moisture will soak into the ground but if the top layers stay wet and sticky our digging may have to be put on hold once more.
