This is my fifth year of growing okra. Though it seems like more than that.
Last year, my okra plants made nearly it to the stage pictured above, …
… then it got too cold for them, and there was no more okra for the year. Great sadness descended upon our household.
But this year, for whatever reason — maybe I put them in earlier, who knows — they have reached the point of looking like a big ol’ flower stalk on top, and it’s still fairly warm.
So, while these pictures are not quite seed-catalog good, I figure, any time you see clusters of okra pods, that’s good.
This is Jambalaya okra. I would definitely plant this again. Virginia, Zone 7.
