Flirting with Frosty

Many growers in the North Country had their fingers crossed last night.  The Weather service predicted some frost in the normal cold spots, but as we get to the ides of September, historically the frost can become widespread quickly.  Fortunately, we all dodged the bullet.  Now we wait for the next full moon later this month.  Temps are expected to warm quickly, and we will be back in summer mode by Thursday.  The last planting of beans is making progress, but it's nothing like midsummer when you can pick every other day.  The rains last week are helping the later plantings, so there is really nothing to complain about at this point.  Now if only the markets would help make up for the reduced yields most growers experienced earlier....  I can't help myself.
