What can I be getting on with now?

Hi all.

My back garden is a blank canvass (currently freshly dug over).

I don't expect to have it perfect this year, but I'd like it to be useable by early summer.

I have a big compost heap elsewhere that is not far off ready, but not ready enough to be dug in. The dug over garden is clay, and currently wet and messy, not really ready to be worked.

Its been like this since autumn, and the complete absence of progress is starting to get to me a bit.

Is there anything I can be getting on with at this time of year?

 

Planning clueless, thats what im doing at the min.. will you be using all of your dug over part of the garden or are you building on parts of it? I would get all the hard landscaping started first, when we had our front garden redone we started in January and had no problems, dug out the founds, walls and brick paving laid by Febuary.. i think the hardest part is actually starting
