Every year we do our best to make the current growing season our best growing season in as many senses of the word that we possibly can. And, every year, as the season progresses, we succumb to the temptation of criticizing ourselves for our recurring failure to succeed. Since this is our fourteenth year of growing on this land, I am tempted to say that we are being completely unrealistic. But, I don't think the goal is unrealistic. What is unrealistic is our interpretation of how well we have done each season to attempt to reach that goal.
