Every day it’s producing new pods ready to harvest, and we know from experience that okra produces better when it’s “well picked.”


Also: squash bugs, the height of melon season, superstar sunn hemp, coping with the heat, and the extension of the drip irrigation system to the West Bed and the Microclimate Bed.
