Texas Gardening: Getting things in the ground in spite of the rain?, 0 by CarloInTX

Anyone having fun with the much-needed rain?

I received some mail order plants on Wednesday. I promptly took them out and set them in their pots in the yard that day, and that evening managed, with the "help" of the two-year-old to get one of them in the ground Wed. Then the rains came. On Friday, I snuck out there and got another one in the somewhat moist ground in between showers. Then yesterday the rain really came. One of the plants that's supposed to be moist is surely moist now, and I was even afraid it would get blasted and carried away. I've got three still sitting in drenched pots, and ground that is too swampy to walk on, much less plant anything in.

Anyone have any tricks or tips in such cases? Am I better off just leaving them in the pots until the ground is nicer?
