How Does Your Garden Grow??????

Things are coming along, romas full on fruiting, marazanos setting in, Okra starting to produce, cantelope starting to set in. Peppers in quarantine outside with aphids, Okras have some aphids as well. did my second treatment of neem this morning. It's the F'in ants bringing these fuckers everywhere. If theres any good side to the aphids zeroing in in the peppers and okra at least they've left the pot alone.

Fuckin' mites, dude. They left my peppers alone. Apparently that is just for the fire ants :')

Dude how much okra do you get from how many potted plants ?

This is my first time growing them, I have 2. They are really for my wife, im not too fond of okra, but she absolutely loves it. I kind of expected them to bush out and fruit like peppers but so far just growing from a few nodes on the main stalk. They are from seed started late april. Hoping this is just the opening act for them, the other plant hasn't even started fruiting yet. Do you have experience with them? Her cousin gave us pounds of frozen okra last year so I was thinking they were pretty prolific.

I have a couple of hundred plants, 4 rows about 25’ long each. Cremson seedless and they don’t bush out just grow straight up with the lower limbs/leaves dying back. They like to be picked and will continue to give off pods much longer if picked regularly. I like it fried in corn mill with lots of salt and pepper .

Yep that's usually what I do, season some cornmeal or use some fish fry seasoned type cornmeal we have. I want to like them, they look and smell great, the texure gets me. lol her cousin we got them from last year has quite a large garden as well. Do you think we can get a decent yeild, enough to eat and some to feeze off the 2 plants? Or likely just enough to have a couple plates?

Each junction with a new set of leaves will have one pod. The plods are always toward the top in the new growth. The bigger side limbs will have pods on them too, so you can get 3-5 pods every other day off a bigger plant.

I nuke a bowl of smaller pods whole for a couple three minutes (just wet from washing, covered with stretch wrap), then add parm. I've got small pods on mine now. Once they reach their stride, I eat it every day until they are gone.
 
My volunteer tomato. Last year I had a vegetable garden and this year I decided it was too hot so I wasn't going to do one, but this tomato showed up in my wildflower bed so I transplanted it into a tiny pot. It's gotten so big I had to transplant it into an old shop-vac that I turned into a pot and then I added a bottom floor when it started getting rootbound. I think it's an African black. mmmm!
