Another repreive

A slight white frost and temp around 38 this morning.  The long range forecast is looking good through next Friday.  We should dry out and warm up.  I need to be able to work up a bed for garlic planting.  Conditions in the north country can go from late summer to mid winter virtually overnight, so you have to take advantage of any good weather to do fall planting and soil prep.  I hope this Indian summer weather extends for a couple of weeks, but I certainly won't count on it.  Likewise, the larger growers across the region need time for the land to dry out so late season harvest of corn, soybeans, carrots, potatoes, etc can proceed and finish before a hard freeze or early snow renders the fields unworkable.  It is scary to think that a whole season of hard work can be held hostage because of wet fields.
