Summer blahs

The stock market is going crazy, but the veg market is consistent on a mostly downhill course.  As one customer said after I pointed out her order was about half of normal, "It's August".  That about says it all in the produce business.  The month is not even to the ides and people have already written it off and are looking ahead to Sept.  The garden looks much better with the rain, but even it says better days are coming.  The tomatoes will be late this year, but hopefully sweeter for the delay.
