Well, ventured down to the allotment this morning (first time in a couple of weeks) and spent 1.5 hours digging mud. By the time I'd finished, I was the colour of a postbox and you couldn't really tell what I had done !
I'm sure in a few months when I have something growing, I'll laugh about it, but right now I feel as though I'm not getting anywhere.
Anyone else having the same problem ?

Could you leave the digging until the soil dries out a bit? I'm sure I read somewhere that diggin when it's wet does something horrible to the soil structure. But I'm a newbie so I'm quite likely to be wrong! :lol:

Yes Puff your right it does damage the soil structure, best lay off digging for a while charliesmum frustrating though. :)
Just found out my car failed it's MOT today :( so untill it's fixed I'm going no where near my lottie :( :(

Mine is like that too, hoping this sun wil dry it out for weekend.
hoping to mark the beds and paths out.
