Okra likes hot air, warm soil.It literally jumps up overnight. A very nutritious veggy.
Another I like is eggplant and Brussels sprouts.more favs of mine. Fryed eggplant is good for breakfast with grits and bacon. :applause:

I have some Celebrity Tomatoes in, some straight neck squash, and a few Jalapeno peppers. its to hot already down here for lettuce, kale, and other leafy greens.

And the Kentucky Wonder pole green beans are up also. I just have to put some chicken wire up to prevent the outside cats from getting in there and digging stuff up.
 
Now days, I am living in an age restricted community and the HOA won't allow me to have a garden other than some tomatoes in a tub on the back porch. But, back when we lived out in the country, we used to have a big garden with all of the goodies, corn, beans (bush and pole) okra, squash, tomatoes, peppers....you name it. Life was good back then.....well, life is still good...just different. When I used to have that big garden, we also had plenty of deer that wanted to constantly "sample" what I was attempting to grow in my garden. The only way I could keep the little buggers out was with an electic fence. The one animal I couldn't control was the neighbors dog. That mutt loved my super sweet corn. At first, I thought ***** were gettign my corn and then one day I saw the neighbor's dog "Weezie" actually pulling down ears of corn and eating the corn off the cob. I ain't lyin', that damned dog actually ate some of my corn. She was thougtful enough to leave enough for me so I didn't shoot her.....but I was tempted.
 
Okra is essential in beef soup and fish/shrimp/chicken/crawfish gumbo.
Also fryed served with ham/beans and corn bread
 
Just checked this eve. and found I have 27 items up and growing----- despite the gophers.
 
Lost all my okra :( , but after 4-5 tries and complete fails (not one bean to show for my efforts) I seem to have found a pole bean that likes my garden.

Phaseolus coccineus Scarlet Runner Bean
about 70% sprouted & most are at the top of my 4 foot fence now.

You guys plant whales???

No.....Silly.....we plant guppies.....they grow into whales..... :wink:

Taters look awesome this year...most of the garden is doing well despite the rain and cool weather....pumpkins are doing very well as are tomatoes, beans, peas, carrots, garlic, etc....
peppers are suffering
Barley is stunted...corn is a write off, sunflowers are disappointing......last year they were magnificent.....squash looks ok......grapes are doing well but some disease is starting to appear...hops are undetermined.... :idunno:
