End of season outlook

The fog cleared out and we have a beautiful day with unlimited visibility.  I wish I could say the same for the rest of the growing season.  The warm weather crops such as peppers, cukes and eggplant are in demand, but they are pretty much done for.  The lettuces are overrun with various weather related problems and the cilantro has run out of fertility and is turning yellow.  Carrots are rotting in place and the spring mix deal died 2 weeks ago.  About the only things that seem to take this weather in stride are leeks and celery.   Potatoes are holding at the moment, but more rain in the forecast makes that an uncertain deal in the short run.  This is the kind of weather that makes me glad I'm not a full time farmer.
