It is a beautiful day outside, and I know what you gardeners are thinking. You want to be out there in the yard, cleaning up and maybe turning over the soil.
Don't. It's too wet. The ground is still frozen a couple inches down and the surface is sticky. Manipulating soil while it's this wet will cause it to lose its structure—the arrangement of soil particles and air space. Plant growth will suffer.
Spring will be along soon. Start seeds indoors or go out for a hike—just be sure to wear boots.
