If the vegetable season in the North Country was an NFL game, we would be at the 2 minute warning in the 4th  quarter.  Unfortunately, we are down by 3 scores and even a miracle will not get the team to a tie.  We have lost too many fields and too many markets during the course of the season.  Starting with the wet spring, carrying over to a dry summer and topped off by the one-two punch of Irene and Lee, the team never got its act together.  Now, a few beautiful days make you think you can make up for lost time, but it is not to be.  To use another sports' analogy, we live by the Brooklyn Dodgers' battle cry; "Wait til next year".  We always do, for better or for worse.
