Showers and drying

Looks like more in and out weather for the weekend and next week.  Much of the garden is still too wet to work in and that seems unlikely to change.  The chances of a potato crop are looking increasingly remote and even corn is in danger of not making an appearance on the family table this summer.  Temps will be higher, so even with showers there may be some drying, but overall this is not the season I prepared for in the spring.  I cultivated the peppers last night to break up the top layer of soil.  An older farmer once told me one of the most important things you can do is break up the soil so the roots can breathe.  These particular roots have been holding their breath for at least 3 weeks, so I hope they can still grow.  Looks like a hard slog this weekend, but this time of year it is expected.
