It has been a rough few days. Early turkey season went by without a bird for the oven. Weather has been unusually cool and wet. Heavy rain on Friday, cloudy and misty Saturday. The ground is beyond total saturation, with puddles in low spots. There won't be any garden work for at least a week. Forecast for next 7 days includes 4 days with a chance of rain, Sunday and Monday with highs in the 70's with a cool down into the upper 50's to low 60's for the end of the week. Then to top it off we have been sharing a nasty virus. Not flu but nearly as bad. Jacob is the only one to escape it so far. Jacob did get some gourds, squash, melons and jack-o-lanterns started for the state fair. Normally I would be about a week away from starting Atlantic Giants for fall, but they may have to wait a week or so. I have the best seed lineup I ever have and I don't want to lose any to a late frost or cold, wet soil problems.
