Limping toward the finish line

Got a quarter inch of rain yesterday.  That's fine short term, but in a perfect world we would have gotten a nice slow inch of rain over the course of the day instead of a quarter in about 10 minutes.  It would seem we only get precipitation fast and hard these days.  I won't have to water the spinach plantings to get them up.   My fifth planting made on the 17th is up this morning.  The lettuce continues to thrive and the blast of heat early this week is bringing on the tomatoes and peppers.  The fall greens look good also.  The market should be well stocked this weekend.  I hope the shoppers are looking for cooking greens and salads.
