Blooming is increasing on younger plants. Recent cool temperatures slowed maturation of some acreage by about two weeks. Laying of plastic and transplanting continue. Picking of a limited volume continues with harvesting on weekends stopped. The frost caused no significant damage.
Harvesting is slow with growers picking only large sizes due to market conditions.
Quality is good. Volume is low. Crop condition is fair to good. Oldest plants are starting to show blooms with harvesting expected to start in late March or early April. Transplanting is active.
