Ken, I thought about going out to Monticello Saturday but when I looked at the forecast, I decided against it. How did it go?
All the rain here last week has pretty much finished off my tomatoes for the season. About half are badly cracked. I brought in what I could. I think I'll take advantage of the cooler weather this week and get my plants pulled out and use that space for lettuce, spinach, chicory and kale. Broccoli and Brussels sprouts look good. Collards look happy. Beets are coming along. Carrot germination is slow. Picked the last of my butter beans and ate those last night. I still have some field peas to pick.
This Cajun Jewel okra is pretty cool. The shortest plants I've ever grown but they have a ton of side branches and I am cutting a gallon ziplock bag full every other day. And I only have 6 plants. I have frozen a bunch of it and cooked some and now I'm giving a lot of it away. I have my very own little okra forest out there.
