Gardening in August

The Okra blossoms are my very favorite part of vegetable gardening.

They are just too pretty.

This season we have been lucky enough to pick okra a time or two. I had only 5 plants that made it, and next year I’m dedicating an larger portion of the garden to okra. Fried Okra is a family favorite of ours, even Dylan loves it.

The corn is doing well too, but it isn’t ready to be picked just yet.

    I love the pictures! You should enlarge and frame some of them. Now I’m craving okra and tomatoes. I think I’ll make some for lunch.

    Thanks Nana! I wish that the garden had done a little bit better this Summer, but maybe I’ll have more okra next year.

    Thanks Mimi! You just made my day ;) I’m glad to know that there is another okra fan out there too ;) We love it here, well almost all of us, Thade isn’t a fan…
