The big muddy

The deer, raccoons, skunks and yours truly have been testing the soil and it is still pretty muddy our there.  I harvested a few heads of lettuce for the Divine Mrs. M this morning and it was a little better than last night when some of the lettuce was actually suffocating from excess water in the root zone.  We have more showers predicted today, so we are not out of the woods yet, but the weekend is looking drier.  I might be able to keep up the planting schedule on Saturday, but it will depend on Mother Nature's whims.  It has been abnormally cool for July, so I'm hoping  for a long, warm fall with less rainfall than we have experienced so far.
