I don't mind, the little bit that I contributed to that email thread.  I think sharing those frustrations with a CSA list would be fairly educational.  Apparently Farmville has no mud, no bugs, no disease and the weather events don't cost you three times your annual salary.  Let 'em see the stuff we deal with vs the stuff we dream about, all in a humorous or personal presentation.

Hello All,

Could someone tell me where to find the thread about folks describing
the "Perfect Farm".  I could use a good laugh right now and would also
like to include excerpts of it in my CSA newsletter.  Either on or off
list would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Do you mean the thread quoted below?

There were a batch of posts; some of them I think just titled "perfection" and some of them maybe just titled "hail damaged drip tape".

I don't know whether some who posted here might mind being quoted elsewhere.
