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!

You pick that okra and you will get the itchy bug itch and you better wash those hands twice.

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.

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....

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.
