Greetings
Just a few things to bring to your attention.
Grapes- The imported Grape deal is in its final moments. We have decent and good supplies of Red Seedless Grapes. We also have Black Seedless and Red Globes with seeds that are still looking good.
We are cautioning all about the appearance and condition of the White/Green Seedless Grapes still available. The remaining supply of Green Seedless are lacking eye appeal (they have a lot of Berry discoloration) and a lot of shatter in the bag. If you absolutely must have a Green Seedless Grape then order them but we do not recommend them because of their appearance and condition. New crop Green Seedless(Mexico) are a couple of weeks away from marketability. Remember the first Green Seedless tend to be round and tart.
 
Melons- The off shore melon deal is in the process of cleaning up. New crop Honeydews and Cantaloupes are also a couple of weeks away from market distribution. The Cantaloupes are recommended and they have good netting and decent sugar(Brix). The Honeydews look good but are lacking in sweetness. This is typical end of season.
 
Tomatoes-The Florida crop has been plagued with too much rain. This is causing the Tomatoes to literally blow up with water as they ripen. Sizing is a problem. The reports from the field state that too much heat and too much rain are bringing the growing season to an earlier end then forecasted. Large Tomatoes are in very short supply and high color as well. We have some very nice XXL Hothouse 15# in stock but the field Vine Ripes are in short supply and very light on color.
 
Stone Fruit-We’re repeating our message that good tasting, sweet, and tree ripened Stone Fruit (Peaches-Nectarines-Apricots-Cherries) is still a couple of weeks away from being up to our quality standards. Stone Fruit is available right now but it is expensive and not a good value.
