Default How to garden in wet ground?

I live in Lebanon, Oregon, about 30 miles southeast of Salem, Oregon. this
time of year it rains...and rains...and rains...and doesn't usually stop
until May, sometimes June. Does anyone have any pracitcal advice for
gardening in the spring when the soil is wet? Last year all I was able to do
was stick some onion sets in the mud - they did very well, btw, I was very
happy with how that turned out - we had onions all summer long, and there
are still a few sitting in the mud that I missed when cleaning out the
garden in the late fall. Anyhow, I can't till the ground, it's just too wet.
I'm afraid this year will be a repeat - onion sets pushed into the mud
