Reality vs. hope

The weekend was everything I anticipated on Friday.  Non stop harvesting, planting, weeding and mowing interrupted by short breaks to eat and sleep.  Not the way a beautiful summer weekend on the NCR should be enjoyed, but as Ned Stark famously observed, Winter is coming.  We reached peak sunlight over the weekend, but the days will remain freakishly long for several weeks and we will continue to gain heat units.  With a fair amount of rain expected tomorrow and Wednesday, the soil remains too wet for optimum growth (except for weeds).  As always at this time of year, I am running out of places to plant.  If we dodge this bullet, the remaining open space will be plantable this weekend, but otherwise the schedule will be thrown off once again.
