Color is good. Irene's winds caused bloom loss and broke off some vines. Planting resumed mid-week. Most acreage is on old tomato plastic which provided dead stems or stakes as anchors from the storm's wind. Planting is steady.
Picking remains active.
The crop is in fair to good condition. Harvesting is increasing with fair to good quality available. Color is fair. Sizes are variable. Yield is below normal.
