No snow here (yet!) and it's only just started to rain but there is a

just too wet and sticky to do anything with. I've done no winter digging

because of the wet soil, it would only destroy the structure, and whilst it

did start to dry out a couple of weeks ago it's back to being a heavy sponge

again. Should have our early spuds in by now, no chance.

Our farmer neighbour had 3 artic loads of seed potatoes delivered from McCain, yesterday. After unloading they towed the trucks out with one of their big tractors.
