Well It happened again,  the good old south wind brought enough chemicals to
the old farmstead that the peppers and tomatoes are history again this year.  
I thought that I had wide enough buffer strip between any crop and my
gardens, but with this strong wind every day it was not enough.  Boy have
really got tied of this, pardon me but I cannot see how any one could be
organic in this whole country and careless as these Coop's and Corp's are
with their spraying.  I just makes me sick to think all the work Marilyn and
I have done since January and have a good share of our crop's gone in one
short  afternoon

We will do like last year and tear it up and go with more short season crops
to finish out the year.  You lose a lot of customers when you don't have any
tomatoes all season
