excess rain and cultivation

I'm getting itchy fingers regarding the plot and that I need to dig in the green manure and hoe the weeds that are now starting to poke through. The problem is, the last time we had more than two consecutive dry days in the SE was early December  , and my attempt to do even the very modest task of planting out over-wintered broad bean plants and garlic resulted in getting rather muddy. I'm on clay soil and feel that if we don't get at least a week's break from the rain the plot is going to be unworkable well into spring. I was hoping after last year's extended winter that I could get an early start this year. I'm I being premature in my concern? I guess what bothers me is what happens if it rains like this for the next three months.

I know how you feel, but I'd see how March goes. And at the minute it looks like the rest of the week will be dryish - but I'm on clay too and am resigned to not being able to work the plot properly till about April. At least if you have a stab at handweeding the beggars with taproots are fairly easy to haul out without breaking them. 

I'm leaving mine until it's a lot drier, you damage the soil if you walk on it when it's this wet - even the walking boards are sinking in right now when you walk on them!
