Well, I haven’t tried to plant any melons at all or any okra. Got such a late start I only put out maters, peppers, cukes and squash. But, I also planted some new perenials, shrubs n flowers around the yard. This is our 3rd full summer in this place. The first one was the drought from hell, temps 110 plus every day for half of August. We lost almost everything we put in new the year before. The second summer I spent driving my uncle back and forth to Houston for cancer treatments. Last summer I was laid up after surgery for months so this year, I’m decoratin the yard.
Sure wish I had a spot for okra tho. Don’t have one and too late to make one.
Well this is the first year at the “new” “old” place. Had a hard time getting things started because of the global warming. Had to re-plant my so-called spring garden. I still have stuff to this week and we’re still getting lows in the 40’s.
