We have to try something. If we wait until the garden dries out, it will be mid to late May before the plants go in the ground, if at all. So, Andrew and I mucked through the farm patch and put up our houses at the farm. It is way too wet to till. We managed to build up the soil in the middle of the garden and is quasi-workable. We put in the heating cables and turned it over by hand. The plan is to till into the houses once it dries, and before the roots push out...that's the plan.
You can see the standing water behind Andrew. We hoped to put in extra soil to build up the corners. That's not happening anytime soon. The good news is all of the snow is gone.
