My cucumbers are not doing so good this summer but my okra is booming.

If the cucumbers have been soaked in vinegar and pickling spices? If so, I'll take a bunch!

I'll be frying okra for dinner tonight:
I'm cutting okra every other day at a minimum.

Okra is a good thing. I froze a lot from last year, we still have plenty. We had some last night.

Okra, tomatoes, onions, corn, smoked sausage, shrimp, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and red pepper:

Looks wonderful. Is it served over rice?

Yes. It was tasty. I'll enjoy leftovers today while watching the PGA Championship on TV.

I'm going to make it soon. Thanks Bob.

Bingo! I'll make some version today. I'm sure most ingredients are in my freezer just waiting for this inspiration! Good morning, by the way!

My garden is dwindling with the noted exception of okra and Asian Long Beans both of which love the heat. Here is my morning harvest of beans. I get this many every other or every third day. The vines remain loaded:

This has been an impressive saga to follow. Congrats and thanks to Bob for a job well done. One question remains:

What the hell happened to the color of your Duke football shirt?!?!

LOL. It is just lighting from the flash. Rest assured my Duke football shirt is the proper shade of blue.

Thank God. I am having problems with my eyes at the moment and thought it was time for emergency treatment.

You need Photoshop REAL bad!

There. That's better.

Thank you, Ima!

For those with a garden, if you desire some Asian Long Bean seeds, let me know as I will have plenty to share. They need to grow on a trellis.

I had one tomato plant which was enough for sandwiches, and one container of mint which was enough for mojitos. IMHO anything else is overkill. The tomatoes are about done for the eyar - the mint is threatening to take over the entire community of Mebane.

I'll take a couple clay pots of mint nest Saturday. I'm craving some mint juleps.

Time to revive this discussion. I planted 40 okra seeds yesterday and four bell pepper starter plants yesterday. Tomatoes (4) and squash (3) plants went in last weekend. I'm planting Asian long beans and pole butter beans in front of my two trellis later today.

The late cold weather has me off to a late start.
