Are you kidding me?!?! I planted okra in the spring, but between the monster squash and tomato jungle, the okra just couldn’t do its thing. So I pulled it up long ago and replanted it with greens for fall.

Well. Apparently there was one very determined okra plant hiding out under the tomato jungle. I dropped a tomato that I’d picked and when I went low into the jungle to get it… there, smiling up at me were these two lovely okra pods. Color me THRILLED!

I KNEW I could grow okra in Pennsylvania. I’m super stoked about it and have begun brainstorming where to put the plants next year for max sunlight.

WOOHOO!
