Is it summer yet...
After dragging irrigation pipes around for months only to find it raining that very night. It seems we are actually having our first stretch of hot summer days, when I have a moment a dip in the irrigation pond is a must, for the refreshing feeling and to clean off the dust which has innevitably collected on my face, but those are few and far between. These days always tend be harder and longer than the rainy ones, constantly worried about all the young starts and they're sensitivity to dry soil and hot conditions. We are carefully planning the days harvesting schedule to minimize the crops time in the sun, and moving irrigation pipes back and forth to keep everything healthy and growing. But the end of the day rewards you with a beautiful and different sunset everynight, and as I watch the irrigation sprinklers throw much needed drops of water over rows and rows of greens, I can for the first time all day relax and enjoy all that has been accomplished in the sun. No matter how tired I am, I always have a few minutes for that feeling.
