I think this is the time of year that we say "Why do I bother? I could take up a cheaper hobby, like skydiving!" But then right after Christmas we all will be itching to get at the new seed catalogues, and planning yet another gardening year. Next year the garden will be perfect, weedfree, with all heirloom varieties that I get canned and preserved and feed my family all winter. Hope springs eternal in the gardener's heart.:tools
:thumbsup So True!!!!!

Hay Thistle! Rows and rows of Wheat, and you didn't even have to plant it. I foresee wheatberry bread if you let it grow!

Here is a shameful picture for you - all this wasted okra, because it's too stinking hot out and I didn't want to cut it.

They go woody already? Up here they go woody because of cold. Last year that was the size I cut them to fry. Otherwise I ant get enough to feed 3 of us. They won't cut or fry but DD and DW eat it like its candy.

Thistle', I claimed an intention to do the Florida Weave . . .

May as well forget it now :rolleyes:.

Never got around to even driving in the posts . . . my "tomato beds" are only 3' wide this year, with a single row of plants. Until about yesterday ( :rolleyes: ), the sprawling plants seemed well-behaved. There aren't even all that many slugs this season. Oh Please! Let there not be very many slugs!!!

When they get big like that you can hardly cut through them with a knife. I'll chop them with a hand axe and toss them in the compost.

You could save them and use them as zombie fingers in a couple of months. Stick them in the ground as if something is digging out.... :D

With okra smaller is definitely better!!!! Anything bigger then a woman's finger is to big.

interesting as I cut some as long as 6" and they are still tender. I was saving seed that I hand collected that you could go up to 7-8" and they were tender until cold set in. Once cold nights hit, they came out of flower woody.
