Ups and Downs

The temperatures here on the NCR have been on a roller coasterfor the past couple of weeks.  Our high today will be lower than our lows during last week's steambath.  Of course now we can take stock of the damage done by the high temps.  Additionally, the below normal readings over the next few days will cause gaps in production schedules as younger fields fail to mature in time to make up for cooked romaine and iceberg.  The showers and rain are welcome, but the weed germination will probably accelerate in the coming days, making the garden a nightmare of work opportunities.  Welcome to summer 2012.
