Too much rain?

Don’t walk on the ground when it’s this saturated. There’s very little you can do until it’s dried out. Walking on soggy soil will compact it and make it horrible to work with when it’s dried out.
It’s times like this you’re greatful to have paths on your plot with bark on. The bark is a safe surface to walk on and you can collect veggies from the beds without walking on them.
The current weather has been extraordinary. It’s finally stopped raining here but the allotments are going to be unworkable for a week or more – every plot is saturated!
