I just pulled up all my okra the other day b/c they had gone weeks without any progress. I figured they had just about spent all they had and i thought they had a pretty good run.
But then I go and check the chronicle website and a columnist there is JUST NOW getting pods. While mine seem to have ran their course hers are just getting started. it seems odd that we would both be houstonians (at least i would think so) and plant at roughly the same time and have much different results. she did plant a dwarf variety so maybe that had a part to play in it.
I'm still getting all the beds ready for spring. They still need a lot more material before they're ready. So there's not much going on for me in the fall. I have probably another week to be really solid about not planting anything. I could put stuff in my old bed i pulled okra out of but i probably need to spiff up the soil a bit to feel better about myself and i just don't know if i'm gonna get around to doing it. dad's been bugging me about beans, so maybe i'll do them at least. thats a big maybe though.
