If it never stops raining, when the hell can I plant?

LOL

It's rained nonstop here for over a week (well, nonstop when I'm NOT at work! lol), and I'm itching to get out and put some dirt under my fingernails!

Plant while it's raining.

I am still waiting for our frost to go away! My new plants are sitting in our garage waiting to be planted...

I hate that feeling -- when you're itching to go but the weather just won't cooperate. 

I try to stay out of the garden as much as possible when it's rainy.  The veggie specialist at a class I took said that I'd compact the soil more and it wasn't healthy for the plants.  We have clay soil here naturally, so I don't know if that is part of it.

WALKING compacts soil, DIGGING decompacts soil.

Very good point. Between my veggie garden being spread out, and my scatterbrain repeatedly forgetting stuff, I trampled all over the place on Sat. I just stay out because I know I'll do it.

I completely agree! The past 4 weekends have either been pouring or we've been busy with family stuff. I'm also itching to plant some annuals in our front beds to brighten up the front of the houses.

I woke up the other morning to FROST! Its the middle of May and I'm in NJ! Last year it was steaming outside already. Hopefully I can get some plants in next week.
