Ok, so it is raining and apparentrly will continue to rain until the next millenium. So what? Well, I can't plant in the heavy rain for these reasons:
- rain increases the chances of soil compaction

- when the soil dries, a crust forms over the top preventing some seeds from germinating

- heavy rain can change the soil structure - especially in a heavy soil like Tamborine volcanic soil

| fao.org |
- the soil sticks to everything when it is wet - I will end up with more on me than in the patch!
So! I wait and wait and wait and hope I can get some food into the ground before too much longer.
