Rain rain go away

I have had farmers breaking equipment left right and center all week long because of the muddy muddy fields. They're having a hard time diggin potatoes and carrots, and they are getting huge leg muscles dragging around 20 or so pounds of mud while they pick the cucumbers. It's a challenging year. The wild blueberry pickers are sitting in a very wet bush waiting for the rain to stop, so even the wild fruits are being slowed down by this weather.

But things are looking up. With the cool weather we still have peas! Crops that by now are usually stressed because of the heat are still going strong, or haven't even started yet! And just think of all of the good things yet to come in late August and September. Corn, pickling cucumbers, melons, apples, squash, field tomatoes, fall bearing strawberries and raspberries. It will be a bonanza.

Take care
