Potato leafhoppers continue to cause leaf injury, particularly in young trees. Continuing heavy rains are causing yellowish, off color leaves on trees located in low spots in orchards. Weed control measures are still being applied, and will be until the canopy closes. Mowing and herbicide application are methods being used. Raspberry and blueberry harvest continue.
Growers are happy with yield and quality.
Strawberry beds are undergoing renovation now that harvest is over. Muskmelon plants have fruit the size of your fist. Growers are harvesting zucchini and yellow summer squash, broccoli, and kohlrabi. Pickle harvest will start at the end of this week, and sweet corn harvest will start next week. These numbers should be useful to you, but remember, measuring temperatures in your own orchard or fields using a max-min thermometer provides far more accurate information.
