Caretakers are mowing, discing and chopping cover crops prior to harvesting and for fire protection. A few sprays continue in the south and the coastal areas on fresh crops. Dead trees are being pushed and some limited burning of grove trash was reported. There are some restrictions on burning due to the current dry conditions. Vegetables available include snap beans, cucumbers, pickles, eggplant, endive, escarole, lettuce, okra, peppers, squash, strawberries, sweet corn, radishes, tomatoes, and watermelons.
Beans look very good with good quality and yield.
Planting is active with second crops going in some fields that have been harvested. A good supply is available. Harvest is slowing. Quality color and sizes are variable. The crop is in fair to good condition.
