Spring Crop Update April 20, 2010

We are well into our green bell pepper harvest, and the quaility is excellent. Our field-packing ensures less handling for minimal impact to each pepper.

TABLE GRAPE UPDATE - HARVEST TO BEGIN MID-MAY 2010!

The table grape crop is very good this spring, as seen here. This is our last ranch of Flame Seedless table grapes as the crew is leafing the vines. Many of these bunches will be removed from the vines over the next week to allow the vines to properly bring the remaining bunches to maturity. Here the crop is so heavy that we will drop nearly half the existing bunches, and still have a very large crop remaining. This ranch is looking good, and will be ready for harvest in June.

Seen below are the Sugraone variety, also a very large crop. This is also our last ranch of the season, scheduled for harvest in June.
