I garden on heavy clay too. The first few years of being here, there was about 3 inches of standing water on top of it for three or more months at a time. It's still a bit naff when we have extreme rain, but no where near as bad as it was.
My Dad has a Hackney that he does carriage driving with, she produces excellent muck
First of all i would like to say that although my missus is crap in the garden,she is a greathome maker and mother to my 5 kids who have all grown up now,but i have 2 lad's still at home who i cannot get rid of.one is 19 and the other is 24,both have girlfreinds but i cannot get them to get wed,
Lol poor you diddydoit. My husband is useless in the garden although he does grow an ace grapevine. His philosophy is if you can't eat it its a weed!!!!! Now we have a 2.5 year old its strengtheidea his idea. he loves lettuce, doesn't grow it just hands more a seed packet! Although he is supportive of my love of all things horticultural..... So I can't really complain much.....emma1978 v v funny bout dilbert and bouquet!!!
I cannot do with the hassle of growing veg "sorry all you veg grower's" but for what it is worth, you can buy it just as cheap from the super market,and dont give me all that muck that there's nothing better that home grown,it tastes just as goo from tesco.

Luck you james.My missus screams at me if she see's plants on the window sill.
I cannot see what the problem is,can you?.
No way it's free light and heat after all

Nothing like clay to slow you down. I once lost a wellie in a patch of it one winter. Found it the following spring like a wooly mammoth on Siberia.

A lot of stuff from Tesco's tastes like goo to me.
