Heading for the finish line

The first of August and most people, if they think of gardening at all are thinking there is still plenty of time to start plants for harvest....  Not so, especially in the North Country.  There is still time for planting a few hardy crops like spinach, beets, turnips, and some short timers like radishes, but for most crops, it's too late baby.  The tomato crop is poised to start producing, peppers are ready, but we need the rain that is projected for today and tomorrow, or things will start getting crazy.
