If it’s still raining where you are and you really want to get some seeds or plants out then you can try a cloche.
Put the cloche in place a few days before you want to sow or plant to let the soil dry and warm up.
Put the plants or seeds in as normal and replace the cloche.

The worst of the weather will be kept away and the plants will finally be in the ground!

Harrod Horticultural have lots of cloche options
