Alabama Red Okra
We have found a most excellent variety of heirloom okra. This variety is called Alabama Red. The pods are as big around as a 50 cent piece and still very tender. 4 or 5 pods makes a very generous serving. (more…)

The last load of boxes
This season was a very good garden season. Seemed like the garden has been gushing boxes of veggies and melons. Boxes after boxes shipped twice a week. The garden gave it up.
Okra bloom stalks are 3 feet long Now she and I need a rest. Adrian too, bless him.
The okra wants to work more. Each plant 7 feet tall after blooming over and over. Boxes and boxes of okra.
But I think it is time to give it up this season. Clean and oil the tools. Compost the too tall okra. Pull down the beans and reclaim the trellis. Call it a day.
After a long season the deer are in garden. See the tracks? -
