I'm not in the Northeast, but in NW Maryland close to the PA line, and I have grown Okra successfully. You need lots of sun and a type that is more hardy. I love Okra in gumbo and soups, and I'm sorry I did not plant it this year. This hot, dry weather would have been ideal.

After a slow start, I am getting some big, beautiful tomatoes. My pink Brandywines are just lovely. I also have the regular, and they are my standby tomato plant.

Corn is so-so - has been too dry, and hopefully it will come through. For some reason my squash did not do well this year, but I have enough friends with gardens that I still have plenty.

After some rain (not enough but we'll take it) forecast looks hot and dry - sigh!

Stay cool!

I’m up in Harrisburg and we grew okra this year. I wish I had planted more I love them pickled.
