Always in early spring we have a 3 week period of rain, in order to get stuff planted you have to get it into the ground before the rain starts or plant late. Comfrey, Can you place some plastic tarps' over it... Preventing more rain/water on the part that is already muddy??? Might, I say, might.. cut down some of the extra moisture...

The portion where I tilled few months ago is very wet, but the untilled portion was dry enough to till last week. I was able to plant Peas, Spinach, Mustard Greens, and Lettuce, now I hope it all comes up. Most of this was last years seed, and the lettuce was 2 years old. But it is raining today, and it is supposed to get below freezing this week.

Weezie...I don't think covering it up would help, since my garden has a very gentle slope to it, the water would probable just run under the plastic. I suppose when the right time comes it will dry out just enough to do what is needed.
