We have finished off patch 1.Mostly sunny days with extreme heat. Daily temperatures ranged between 26°C - 42°C. Overnight temperatures ranged between 14°C - 32°C..
Larger volumes harvested.
The quality of the fruit is very good. Size is medium. Ripeness is ¾ colour.
We have finished off patch 1 as it did not hold up well after the four days of extreme heat. The younger crops were far more resilient and have held up extremely well. There has been substantial flower drop however, which will see harvest volumes drop off in 3-4 weeks, but the plants themselves have held up and recovered extremely well as already mentioned
