Winners and losers

The usual suspects performed about as expected on Monday night.   The cukes and beans look forlorn and are barely hanging on after a 35 degree low.  the tips of the tomatoes also took a hit, but the vines still look good.  Unfortunately, the thrice damned galinsoga weed was still growing strongly yesterday.   The weatherman is predicting 28 on Friday night, so that should take the weeds out as well as the aforementioned summer loving crops.  The brassicas continue to grow grudgingly, but the spinach plantings are gathering steam.  Next week should be warmer, so the last lettuce plantings will mature.  The weather continues to torment commercial growers in the northeast.  Although it is a little warmer than normal it is also a lot wetter.  What good are mature crops if you can't harvest them.
