Playing in the mud

We at least got some things done today. Had some help from Amber, Panchito (Javier), his dad Pancho, and their friend Daniel. It was too wet to do any actual planting. The tilled rows sucked up water like a sponge. You could float the mud like you would do concrete. Luckily most of the irrigation trenches did not refill themselves. Only a little cleaning out will be necessary before we put the pipe in. Just want to make sure the pipe is far enough down that if later I want to disk between the rows I won't shred the pipe. What we did manage to accomplish was laying the drip hose in each of the rows. We put t-posts on each end of the row and then pulled the hose tight and tied it off to the posts. I wonder how many days it will be before the soil dries enough to plant. I don't feel like shoveling mud. There may be a light freeze next weekend (rain??). I would just like to be finished with this particular chore.
