    Wes when I moved to my new house 2 years ago the Petaluma Adobe soil is exactly as you describe minus the rocks. I litteraly waited until late April to run a 50 foot gutter trench for drainage pipe. Every single spadeful had to be cut off the shovel with a garden knife, the adobe might as well be supper glue! This summer I waited too long to dig two post holes 24 inches deep each. The soil was close to hard pan for the first 18 inches until I hit moisture. Timing is exactly how you describe!
