The Garden--August 11



Crazy okra!

The tallest one is taller than I am now.

It looks so bare with the cucumbers and the pole beans and cucumbers pulled up.

The tomatoes are almost done. They are looking very scraggly.

But, I just put in my first fall crop, so things are still popping up.

Sprouting purple hull peas.

The mysterious periwinkle (as in I did not plant it and don't know where it came from) is still getting blooms.

  1. congratulations on your garden! I keep thinking conditions are just not right at my house (no nearby spot with 8 hours sun, etc.) but I think I just need to throw caution to the wind and go for it best I can! Thanks for the motivation, i'm enjoying your blog :)

  2. Wow, those okra plants are tall! Mine are not doing good at all this year. Actually, the garden is just not doing great, but then maybe it is still early for us up north? Wishful thinking!

  3. I went out to pick some okra yesterday and it is now several inches taller than I am. And the plants are still producing.
