More of the same

Cool and wet conditions continue on the NCR with increasingly dire forecasts.   The single largest garden area remains too wet to work, and it is almost time to plant the tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and other heat lovers.  There remains plenty to do in other areas, but if the major crops don't get in, it will be a long, not so hot summer.  Many corn and soybean growers must be getting worried also, as the heavy soils in much of the Champlain valley continue to be too wet to work.  It is still May, but the weather doesn't seem to be changing and we are starting to run out of time.
