  3. While I was out today, but not in a position to stop, I saw a little roadside stand advertising okra. The next time that I see means that I will be having baked/roasted okra that evening! Assuming they are small enough. I’m not prepared to fry okra because while frying okra fights back. (Pops)
    Looking forward to some green veggie french fries! Without the frying.

  5. CW: cutworm catepillars held in the hand

    The Okra is under attack. This is the second seedling to get chopped off in the last two days. I forgot how susceptible the small Okra seedlings are to cutworm attack. I believe this is the black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon, but there are other cutworms in the family and I'm not an expert. I'll poke around for more of them and treat the remaining seedlings with some Bt.

  7. At last! We finally had some measurable rain overnight (.32 inches or about 8mm) Things are looking a little better out there as the sun is coming up. It's also supposed to be less HOT today. It's currently 70F / 21C and going up to 79F / 26C. We'll see... Enjoying it while we can. Also finally got the Okra planted out just ahead of the rain yesterday. All that's left now is two more Succession plantings of sweetcorn.

  9. The 80 gallon tumbler full of grass clippings and shredded leaves continues to heat up on it's way to being used as mulch for some of the tomatoes in about 2 weeks time. Also, the last crop to go out (Okra) is coming along nicely in the greenhouse. Won't be long before we get those planted out.

  11. Had okra and aubergine curry for tea. I think me and the lad excelled today. We are quite a team.

  15. Okra, originally from Africa, thrives in warm climates. It's easy to grow—just sow seeds in full sun and well-drained soil. Ready in 2 months, okra is a staple in Indian cuisine, used in curries like bhindi masala. Also great fried or pickled! #okra

  19. Where were you seven months ago when Ross got in another (maybe not the first) altercation with a motorist in a car and got stitches? That was so long ago, my #okra was just starting to flower for the season.

  21. Good morning 🌄
    I slept in & Mom made some #CanhChuaCá 😊
    It is a #Vietnamese #SourFishSoup. Mom's been making this traditional comfort dish since her childhood years. In South #Vietnam she used mostly catfish because that's the main river fish that her brothers caught, back in her village life times.

    Mom used cod for this - we don't get much catfish here. We love adding lots of #okra & #beansprouts. There's celery & pineapple underneath the bean sprouts, not visible.

    This #SourSoup dish originated from the #MekongDelta & is a popular entree across #SouthVietnam. Canh Chua literally translates to sour soup - this is the #fish version. We have a chicken version that we make too.

  27. #Georgia [USA] - ‘Without Walls’ Farmers Market makes debut in #GardenCityGA

    Published: Jul. 26, 2025

    GARDEN CITY, Ga. (WTOC) - "A new initiative to help #LowerIncome families buy #HealthyFood and make smart choices kicked off Saturday in Garden City.

    " '#FeedTheHungry' is meeting people where they’re at to make the community as a whole healthier.

    "From #okra to #nectarines, a new farmer’s market in Garden City has no shortage of healthy options. The idea for this farmer’s market came from a lack of resources when it comes to fresh foods.

    " 'Trying to address #FoodDeserts in this community. And what does a #FoodDesert mean? That means limited access to fresh food,' said Charice Stroud, a volunteer with Feed the Hungry.

    "Stroud is working alongside state representative Carl Gilliard to increase that access with the start of the first '#WithoutWalls' #FarmersMarket.

    "On Saturday, this new farmer market kicked off with #pickling demonstrations, fresh juice making, farmer’s selling #LocalProduce, and more.

    " 'It builds a healthier community, right? That’s our overall goal,' Stroud explained.

    "Feed the hungry is partnering with #AgraUnity, a coalition of #BlackFarmers that focuses on supplying the food deserts In #WestChathamCounty.

    "Those local farmers will be selling their products, allowing people in the community to access farm to table food at a more affordable price.

    " 'We want to empower people. And a part of that is your health, what you’re consuming each and every day. So, you can come in and get some good ideas for what to bring back to your home and your family,' Stroud said.

    "The 'Without Walls' Farmers Market will be held every 4th Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 4704 Augusta Road in Garden City."
