Looks like the weather should be fine, but, after those lines that passed us yesterday and today, I would think the bottom ground down there would be quite muddy, still. Friday, maybe Saturday, the ground should be really REALLY loose and not so much mud.
Wish I could come over and help with a garden fork. If you have taters dropping over the table, then you did real good!
