Lots of parsley seeds, sowed 2 weeks ago, have sprouted.
One of my ginger seedlings is starting to leaf out.

First okra harvested. You want to harvest okra fruits at this stage & pick off fruits when they're no bigger than this size. You'll encourage the plant to produce more flowers/fruits if you don't leave fruits on for too long. I explain in the video.

I picked some yummy #marionberries this morning 👩‍🌾😊 They're a hybrid, trailing blackberry cultivar. They taste like a mix of blackberry & raspberry.

Don't toss/compost your homegrown #PepperLeaves. #Harvest them because they're food. They can be used as herbs substitute if you don't have basil or mints. They can be cooked & eaten. They're nutritious, so start eating your pepper leaves!

Mom had told me that in her matriarch village, our relations grew & harvested #peppers & #leaves for many generations. It's used in many different Asian cultures as both food & medicine.
