With wet soil conditions, watch for bulb rots to develop quickly if harvest is delayed too long. Long-day varieties, better suited to our northern latitudes, are still growing, or just beginning to show signs of bending over. Early potato varieties are also starting to be harvested. Quality looks excellent, although the recent heat may have lightened overall yields. It is amazing how much El Nino's late winter and early spring effects are still showing up in early crop maturity.
Pumpkins are off and growing.
Although, where conditions have been extremely wet, some leaf disease symptoms are already visible. As field conditions allow, be on the lookout for the early start of problem areas, and treat accordingly. Last year's plague of rootworm adults early in the season seems to be here again, so scout the field and treat accordingly. Believe it or not, it is time to think about starting transplants for some of the slower-maturing fall crops, such as brussels sprouts. It is looking like fall might be the best chance left this year for a fairly normal growing period.
