Picked this week.
Okra flower- gorgeous!
Funny little curvy baby cucumbers.
Ready for picking soon!
Happy Marigolds.
Baby Habenero Peppers.
Blue Hubbard Squash growing very slowly.
The only malabar squash seedling, from six seeds that were planted.
See those pretty zucchini up above? One of them was picked off the plant that was labelled "Yellow crookneck squash" when I bought it from the plant nursery. Sigh. This is the third plant to be mis-labelled from this place.
I figured out a great way to use up just a few okra at a time. I don't eat it, but the patient man half does. I just haven't been able to pick enough to make an actual recipe. But I came up with a keeper- take what okra I DO have, cut the stem top off, slice down the center. Douse in olive oil, hot sauce, salt and pepper, and roast at 400 degrees until crispy. I did this with just four okra, and included it as a lil side dish with some leftover casserole for the man half to take to work with him. He gave it two thumbs up!
