timing is everything

Got a nice little half inch rain last night which should keep the garden growing for the rest of the week.  If we could get two rains like that each week it would be gardener's heaven.  We are finally starting to ship spinach and cilantro to New York markets today.
Timing is crucial there as well.  A hot spell in New Jersey will probably decimate their crops which should set up the market for upstate produce.  A $10 crate of spinach can turn into $20 with a little assist from the weather.  Here's hoping for a little more rain here and a lot more heat in the Mid Atlantic states.  Timing....
