As dry as it is where you are, you shouldn't have any of the fungal issues I had this year. They keep on keeping on until a killing frost. If black spot hadn't got on mine so bad, I would still be eating okra everyday.

Are you growing Clemson Spineless, or a different/multiple variety(ies)? I watched a YouTube video where the guy was growing red okra, super neat looking.

There are a lot of cool strains out there. But yes, I'm growing Clemson Spineless. I grew some last year and saved half a gallon of seeds. Did a saved seed run early on this year. They started out great, but faded fast. Not sure if it was the seeds or not. After that I bought a pound at the Co-Op.

By the way Larry, my lacto-fermented pickles are awesome. Beats any store bought pickle on flavor hands down.

If you ever want to try your hand at that, shoot me a pm. It's a very simple process.

Thanks. I'll give it a try when I make some cukes. It will be next year before I have enough to do anything with. I'm making a few Armenians, but just 2-3 a week. That deer that got in the garden trimmed my vines for me.

My okra is kicking it. When it doesn't rain everyday, it wilts in the noonday sun. But this was early morning, when they are loving life.

Mine didn't do too well. But it did grow so that's making me optimistic that I can get a halfway decent crop next year. I just have to time it right so it's growing at the hottest time of the season. I'm not giving up.

That looks good. You might have to try a small hoop house to get a longer season. I planted my first round too early and it didn't do much because of the cold.
