Catching up, falling behind

It would seem like a contradiction, but in the extreme gardening world of early to mid June, it is very possible to both catch up with planting and fall behind on everything else.  I spent most of Saturday helping a friend, so Sunday was planting day for peppers, eggplant, winter squash, summer squash, cucumbers, melons, corn, lettuce, etc.  Still not finished.  Meanwhile, the weeds refuse to take any vacations and early plantings of beets and carrots and onions need attention.  The yard has taken a backseat up til now, but it needs plenty of work also.  Between family events and the copious amounts of rain which have disrupted work until now, I am starting to feel more like the nail than the hammer.
