Chocolate cake and weather

There are very few feelings like plunging your hand into soil the consistency of chocolate cake and planting seedlings you know will thrive.  I had the experience last night as I planted shallots, onions and potatoes in newly turned earth.  Showers are promised for Friday (more like torrential rain I'm afraid), so I should have at least one more chance to plant.  It is somewhat addictive, but I guess it is better than many other choices I could make.
