Please refrain from insulting Okra that way. Okra is a fine veggie, easy to grow.
My crop is doing well. I got enough to make Gumbo and am now building up enough harvest to make pickled okra. But I have to grill some too.
Yum yum.
I know. I border on sacrilege at times.
I just picked one of my Burgundy seed pods yesterday. I am only growing about half a dozen plants this year to get some fresh seed for next year.
I did plant several hundred sq ft of sunflowers last week though. Should get some good decorative stalks for fall. And some Hickory King corn - same goal. And green beans! Because, why not? I am betting we have time to get the beans this year. Would like to can a few dozen jars....
I have about 1,800 sq ft of beds ready to plant for some fall stuff, including some ground cover. Iron Clay cow peas, red clover, and some rye grain. Keep growing plants covering everything, all the time! May just go ahead and put in some more okra just to see if it will work. The Burgundy (Baker Creek) is only about 60 days.
