Besides the things you've said, what else do you have planted? > > Ga"I hold the firm belief that okra was made specifically to be battered and fried. NOT boiled."halia
The *only* way I can eat okra is battered and fried. We started out this spring with radishes, lettuce, and onions. We also had spinach and mustard greens. All of that is pretty much gone now, but the tomatoes and potato crop are soon to be ready. The corn is still iffy. We grow beets, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, peas (sometimes English peas, but usually field peas like whipperwills and purple hulls) We grow okra, but this looks like a bad year for it. The beans we like best are white half runners and those big flat Italian beans. We grow peppers, mainly green sweet bell peppers. We put out some sweet potatos that seem to be doing OK, but our cabbages don't look too hot this year. We have cherry trees, blue berry bushes and some strawberries. Most of the herbal stuff is grown in pots on the deck. Some years we have raised Chinese cabbage, but it's hard to find the seed anymore. We like to plant it in the mix of radishes, mustard and turnips that we grow in the fall. Listing this stuff makes me hungry. Howard
