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!

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

hoping to mark the beds and paths out.
