What a day

I know this blog probably makes farming look like non-stop fun and yuks, but today was one of those days. I am having temperature management problems with some tomatoes and peppers (they were too hot under the black plastic and remay), so I am worried I have damaged a good portion of those crops. Cucumber beetles, which are the absolute bane of any melon, squash, or cucumber grower, have shown up in the greenhouse, and it is only a matter of time until they show up in the field. I knew they would eventually find us, but I thought we might get more of a reprieve in our first year. I don't have the things done that I need to have done for market on Wednesday, and in fact, I haven't even finished the things I was going to do before I started getting ready for market. It was hot out today, I was tired, blah blah blah. Whew, time to go to bed and simply start over tomorrow.

Just take it one step at a time, do the next right thing, and I should have a better attitude tomorrow. I guess these are what are called growing pains. Or learning pains.
