I have time because we've had six weeks of practically
constant rain, and practically no sun at all.

We're unable to plant much of anything because of standing
water in the garden. We can't even GET to the things we
have managed to plant without sinking in the mire.

Last time I tried, I sank in the mud up to my shins, and the
mud pulled off both my shoes (which I had great difficulty
rescuing).

I think this is pretty much the situation throughout the
northeastern USA (maybe the southeast too, I don't know).

For my own self, I'm not selling much this year: this year,
we're building raised beds, cold frames, and a hoophouse,
and I'm 'rehearsing' for selling next year (this is all we
can manage this year), but in any case, our local farmers'
market hasn't opened yet: no one has anything to sell.
