What a beautiful yard you have and your project is awesome! I am envious!

We have had a lot of rain over the past few days, though hail broke my rain gauge some time back so I'm not sure how many inches. Part of my garden has standing water in it, but is doing well. Should be picking squash, peppers, tomatoes and jalapenos soon and green beans and black-eyes in a month or less.

I thought some of you might be interested in this new okra strain recently offered for sale called 'Heavy Hitter'. It produces heavily branched stalks in excess of 2" inches in diameter, bearing 40 to 70 tender pods SIMULTANEOUSLY. Here is a photo of ONE PLANT (there are copyright notices on the pics or I would post them here:

Thank you for your kind comments and I’m glad your garden is doing well. Also, thank you for the okra info. I love okra and will definitely try some Heavy Hitter.
