Were you able to plant and grow some okra up there?

Put out 8 (4 of each variety) transplants; got 2 small pods. I’ll try again next year, as this season was far from normal, and not just for us; everybody I’ve talked to had a very bad year.

I hope those bean seeds I sent did better for you than they did for us, after I bragged on them. They weren’t alone though, as the Navy Beans, Black Valentines, Henderson Baby Limas, and Florida Speckled Butterbeans didn’t do worth spit either.

My “75 day” melons were green and rotting on the vines, rather than ripening, at the 100-days after transplant mark. Potatoes got late blight. Only things that did well were the pickling cukes, pattypans, peas, and onions.
