I really do like caladiums, and since I was shopping for shade-loving plants, they were perfect. They were so darned expensive though. This one is my favorite:

I also purchased some persian shields, which will be gorgeous when they mature a little. The purple should get really vibrant.

Which of the okra varieties are you going to plant?

We have a number of caldium colors, so far. She says she has a bunch of bulbs left, so we are going to plant them in pots to gain some size before putting them out. Maybe tomorrow I will grap some pics of her refurbished bedsand post them here.

Being noobs at okra, we will prolly start a few clemson spineless, jade, and cowhorn. I(we) turned up about an 8 X 16 or 18 patch. I figured 2 rows and room to walk between at harvesting, or possibly we may run the rows crosswise.

I am hoping that nobody will steel from us being okra.

I have mentioned that we could take out all the trees out back and have a sunny back yard for sun plants and a bigger garden. Then I could get a tracter and work a bigger plot! Actually, I just want a reason to buy a tracter. :)

If I plant three varieties of okra in such a small area, about 8ft x 16ft, will I be able to save seeds of each kind or will I have cross-polinated hybrids seeds?
