That'll be a few more days before the ground starts to dry up. Last time I disturbed the soil, some horrible little biting insects flew up and bit me on the eyelids and nose. I  attempted to brush them off, but managed to bruise my eye socket. I looked as if I'd done a few rounds in the ring! The bites really itched too. Pesky little things.
