Besides the mess I will create on me....

Is it okay to plant things when the ground is wet? I mean this sounds like a logical answer to the question but sometimes I hear NOT to touch the ground if it's wet because you could have a harder time and it might be a lot more work.

It rained this morning and I'm dying to get the rest of project #1 gfinished tonight since it's going to be raining off and on the next couple of days (like through Monday). I really need to get these plants that I bought two weeks ago in (I'm keeping them watered and they are staying alive). So I wondered if it's okay to do that if the ground is wet from today's rain. Rained this am, not suppose to rain the rest of the day.

I have peat moss I'm going to put down with the plants and then top soil on top of that after I get the plants in. Then after the ground does dry a bit then I will put down the mulch.

Go for it...I've never let rain stop me and besides...then you have to water less initially.

I worked all day yesterday in the rain and planted a few things in to wet ground... I see no problem with it... Working with Peet Moss can be fun in the rain though.. Yuck

Well I decided that I purchased too much peat moss so most of it is going back. Thank goodness that when they deliver the rest of my bricks and the 40 more bags of top soil that I decided that I needed that they will take back the peat moss. I did get out and worked in the spot last night, laid down what top soil I had and then ran out and ordered more to my delivery for tonight and then went out and rewarded myself for a job well done by taking dd to see Lizzy McQuire!!!!
