Planting is active. A small acreage recently planted is expected to recover from flooding which drained rapidly after the storm passed. The crop is in fair to good condition. Harvesting is increasing with fair to good quality available. Sizes are variable.
Color is good.
Irene's winds caused bloom loss and broke off some vines. Planting resumed mid-week. Most acreage is on old tomato plastic which provided dead stems or stakes as anchors from the storm's wind. Planting is steady. Picking remains active.
