I love your enthusiasm but don't rush into it just yet.
On my allotment site I don't think anybody has even visited it yet.
Best to let nature take its course.

Ivor's right.

You don't want to be either treading on, or planting into, sodden ground.

If you followed that rule in these parts, we wouldnt ever get started!

They do up here. the frost hasn't shifted all day, nor did it yesterday and I don't suppose it will tomorrow. Still, it meant I could prop the ladder against the big apple tree and it didn't sink into the ground. With the help of number one son I managed to lop two big limbs off and reduce the height by 6-8 feet. This year I might be able to reach the apples
