A Walk in the Garden 
I just hope your ground isn’t frozen as it would take even longer to drain then.

Thank you, Cathy. We have had freezing weather for weeks, but it warms up most every day. The water will eventually drain in. You can be sure that you will be reading here about the awful dry weather we are going to have in August. Can we ever be satisfied?

That looks annoying, how do you deal with it?

The only thing I can really do is just stay out of the area until it subsides…and happily it eventually does. My Arranger does not like for me to track things into the house. For some reason, I seem to do bad things to the carpets.

That made me laugh, my husband gets into the same trouble.

John – take heart! We all do (us gardeners that is) bad things to carpets! I hope for your sake when it puddles like that it drains away reasonably quickly.

You sound very understanding about carpets. Thanks, Cathy, for your encouragement.

Ooh a bit soggy, eh? I think we’re in for a bit of that come spring, once all this snow melts. Here in the North , it’s what everyone refers to as ” mud season”. Of course clay doesn’t help, does it?
Hope sunshine and warmer weather dries things up a bit for you.

Thanks, Denise. It’s a bit better today, but there is a forecast for more freezing…nothing like you are going through. Be careful in all that snow.

Sheesh. Well, that’s my yard looks like if it rains before the ground has thawed. Afterward the drainage is not bad. Thanks for this reminder to be grateful for good drainage.

Clay. I can’t imagine. My gardens now are on sand dunes. I am endlessly amending.

We have to do the same thing with clay…amending, amending, amending. Why do all the neat plants in the catalogs and magazines say they need “moist, well-drained soil?”
