Fall raspberry harvest continues for Heritage berries, with the peak of the harvest over the last 2 weeks. Harvest will continue until a killing frost. Apple growers continue to find OBLR and some OFM damage in their apples at harvest. OFM caused some losses in pears as well. The processing tomato harvest in Leamington is complete with many growers just filling their contracts.
Growers are now busy planting cover crops.
Pepper harvest will continue until frost. Pumpkin crop looks good at roadside markets, with a selection of squash and other fall treats. Report not available. Dry weather over the last few weeks still creating concern for growers and vine stress. 50-75 mm of rain fell last Sept 29 relieving some of the plant stress.
