Potatoes - when I sank into the ground over my shoes I called it a day.
(Yes - I have heard of wellies!)
But they make a great noise as you prise them out of the swamp.
I gave up today after I was weeding onions and was stood in one place for several minutes (v. weedy plot at the moment!). I tried to move but was stuck in mud over ankle deep (luckily I was in boots). My, the OH laughed as I flailed about, trying to get out without losing boots, balance or dignity :-[
Wud have been happy to wade.. lost all mine.. Cup still half full tho many lessons learnt! >:( >:(
I was lifting the summer onions today... in theory but it never stopped raining will be diggin potatoes off a scaffolding plank at this rate...
:-\
One consolation? I think that the slugs are drowning!!
I'm sure I saw a big one with a snorkle the other day!
;D
That'll be a rat-tailed fly maggot.
