We had a full week of dry weather that gave our waterlogged lower fields time to dry out... sort of. There's a slight roll to the best field down there, and the low parts of that roll are still too wet at plow depth. Luke plowed up two sections (about an acre) on Thursday, but left the next two to dry out a little more. Saturday morning before it starting raining we tried to get into those next two, too, but about halfway across it was plowing up wetter than we feel good about and we had to stop. It's incredible how waterlogged a thing becomes when it sits submerged for a week!
We did manage to lay a few beds of mulch through the corn debris before the rain started, though. They're not the prettiest beds, thanks to a ton of un-broken-down corn rubble, but they bought us a little room to get our overdue plants out of the greenhouse. Hopefully this rain won't *really* last all week and we can get some more done down there...
