The numbers harvested are not as big as we wish due to the colder nights.Sunny days early in the week with heavy rainy towards the end. Overnight temperatures ranged between 10 to 14 degrees. Daily temperatures ranged between 18 to 25 degrees.

Quality is holding up well considering the heavy rain we had two weeks ago.
This week harvesting has been light on due to the cold weather and the fruit has been slightly backward that what we would prefer. The challenge will be next week, with a forecasted 200mm of rain which is already started. Having the knowledge of the forecasted weather we best prepared for it by harvesting all breaker to colour fruit and leaving the hard green on the bush. Also, we believe we are in a better position then most as we grow on sandy soil and should allow us to go in much earlier
