One advantage of diversified production is, whatever the weather's doing, something's happy (maybe it's the strawberries and lettuce, or maybe it's the sweet potatoes and hot peppers).

The corresponding disadvantage, of course, is: whatever the weather's doing, something's unhappy.

Some of sun, hot, and dry is modifiable of course, up to a point; easier to modify than cold, cloudy, and soggy, at least. But there's still nothing like a good soaking rain when you need one (especially if the irrigation pond has run dry).

Yours from, currently, under about eleven inches of snow, most of it fresh; and we're having a heat wave! it made it up to 34ยบ in the shade!
