Doing more harm than good

I ventured into the garden today mild weather,birds singing, heavy clay workable. A perfect day to do a spot of gardening? No!
I've accidentally trodden on several plants, broke a large section of stem off a young clematis and may have hoiked out what we're not weedlings.
Time to go inside before I do any more damage

 

I know it well, but soil here not workable until the 'tide' goes out. We are saturated

 

Just done the same as you B3 - more harm than good.
Hello to you and Nut from Philippa

 

Hello Philippa

 

Hello philippa
Speak to you elsewhere when I find my way about

 

Sorry you've had some mishaps, and you've just described me

 

At least your plants are safe from well-intentioned damage for now. Look on the bright side @Angie Jones (nut)

 

Waiting for the mud to go before planting

 

They look reasonably safe there but I also managed to damage a few plants while slug hunting

 

This is probably the most disspiriting start to the year I have know, and I'm no youngster. It's impossible to do any work on the borders and the lawn is saturated. I'd look at repotting some of the hostas but as soon as I think about getting out there is starts raining again and I have nowhere with much cover.

 

I've just taken delivery of a 20 metre roll of copper tape to put round my pots. That, combined with a garlic spray, has certainly helped in the past.
