    Hi,
    I know that the ground is supersaturated -but I was wondering if it would still be OK to plant 3 foot conifers (Potted).
    I have 9 of them that I want to dot around the perimeter of the garden.
    To Plant or not to Plant?
    Any help would be very much appreciated.:)

    u can dig away , it depends on the ground, if the ground has not ben disturbed then u may find the soil is workable.

    The ground is fairly OK --I put the shovel to it today but I am worried about if we get frost it would burn them --I have no green house so I think I will (Weather permitting) be busy on the weekend.:)

    To test for waterlogging dig a trial hole, cover it & see if it fills with water over a few days.
