You will just have to be patient and wait for the soil to dry out a bit. I usually try and get a bit dug between Christmas and New Year, but this year all I have done is been down to harvest and look.

It really isn't worth compacting the soil bt getting on it when wet.

Almost a bit like sowing seeds...........just because the packet says you can sow between x date and y date doesn't mean the weather is appropriate for sowing.
I was put on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things; right now I am so far behind I will never die.
