We're having temperate swings from morning frost to daytime highs in the 90's and the ground is still so saturated that tilling just turns up big goopy clods of mud. If I wait for the ground to dry out it will be too late to plant so my solution is to add tons of my horse compost to the tillage to try to refine it to a workable soil. I'm moving my Dahlia bed this year from the vegetable garden area out with the fruit trees and berries. In this photo you can see where the front wheels of the tractor sunk in when I was dumping the compost. Today I'll go in with the little garden tractor, spread the compost and do some test tilling.
