Well the cold and the soggy continue......but not after 10 days without rain first. The field crops are way behind schedule and causing issues with my wholesale accounts because of the lack of heat. In the 40's again tonight with a high of 57 today.....not good for the heat loving plants. Lettuce is even slowing down out in the fields so that I am experiencing a mesclun gap. Greenhouses are planted with the last of the mesclun finishing up in there. Melons will go out on black plastic next week. Inside the greenhouses things look great. Tomatoe plants are all full of fruit already and so are the peppers. Eggplant are struggling this year? A few bugs are starting to show up here and there. I am sure the heat on tap (normal temperatures) for next week will kick them into high gear. Well off to make a delivery and then spend the day doing paperwork. Need to get caught up with that stuff so might as well let the rain do it's job. Ditch digging is still gotta get done. Last big thing hanging over my head for this summer.
