Processing tomato harvest is nearly half completed with growers reporting average to just above average yields. Current fruit quality is good with limited fungal diseases. Market tomatoes are readily available in good quality. Fields appear to be able to sustain harvest until early November if the weather would allow. Pumpkins that have not been diligently protected with fungicides are now severely infected with powdery mildew.
Fruit set in most fields looks very good as orange pumpkins are now easier to see.
Potato harvest is picking up steam for both tablestock and chips. Yield and quality is reported as good. Even with the cool growing season, some internal discoloration has been reported. Pepper harvest is continuing with very good quality and size. Wall thickness and size is the best I have seen in many years.
