Picking is starting. Pickle harvest is active. Good quality and yield. Hot, dry weather is effecting the vines and in some fields it will be a short season. Eggplant yield down with light volume available.
Quality is good.
The younger plantings generally are in good shape. Fruit setting and sizing fairly well. Light harvest from regular and specialty eggplant. The quality and color are good from first cutting. Older blocks being cleaned- up and mowed down.
