Beautiful sunflowers!
Those tomatoes are making me want to go and make up a big salad! I think I will! I hope I have some that taste as good as those look! |

Etymology, origin and distribution The name okra is of West African origin and is cognate with "ókùrù" in Igbo, a language spoken in what is now known as Nigeria. The species is occasionally referred to by an early, now incorrect synonym, Hibiscus esculentus L. Okra flower bud and immature seed podThe species apparently originated in the Ethiopian Highlands, though the manner of distribution from there is undocumented. The Egyptians and Moors of the 12th and 13th centuries used the Arab word for the plant, suggesting that it had come from the east. The plant may thus have been taken across the Red Sea or the Bab-el-Mandeb strait to the Arabian Peninsula, rather than north across the Sahara. One of the earliest accounts is by a Spanish Moor who visited Egypt in 1216, who described the plant under cultivation by the locals who ate the tender, young pods with meal.

So okra is really not in the Hibiscus family? The flower looks sort of like a hibiscus.

Do we have any fall gardens ? I have mine all planted. Still has a way to go before I will have new photos. This is a photo of last years broccoli. I have multiplying onions,spinach,lettuce,turnip greens,carrots and radishes.
That would be old Chester on rat patrol in the garden.

No collards, no mustards, no turnips... No peas or brocoli, or any cold weather crop. I'm off my game. All I have are some fast riping peppers. I'm in Jalapeno heaven here.... Maybe it isn't too late for some brocoli or carrots....

CITRUS SATSUMA (GROS SUJET) I just called LSU Ag center and the lady said that the Satsuma's will not EVER be sold again because Katrina wiped them out. They will have the tomato's through Christmas.
