It does take patience and a lot of faith. He planted the first week in May, so this is not bad to start getting some squash and cucumbers about 6 weeks later. I will be canning pickles before its over. With a row 60 feet long, we will be tired of cucumbers and won't be able to eat that many before they ruin, even giving some away.

The okra plant is not too big yet, but I'll try to remember. Look in the 2nd photo. He has 4 rows planted, after the row of cucumbers on the fence. Cucumbers are on the first outside row.
I cooked some purple hull peas one day last week, but no fresh okra. My daughter brought over a Walmart bag of peas to shell on the pea sheller. I told her we could shell them quicker by hand, no more than she had. It wasn't worth having to wash the sheller, afterwards.
My husband likes it just like you do any way you cook it but I don't care for it boiled. Too slimy!-lol- I smother fry it down and like to eat it with pinto beans and cornbread, or really anything-lol- My grands and kids too, like a vegetable soup.
I cooked shrimp etouffe and fried shrimp the other day, when my son and two grandsons came in. The 11 year old asked why I din't cook a vegetable soup!-lol-

My husband picked at me when I recovered a tomato he threw, when he pulled up the dying tomato plant. It was about the size of a golf ball but I brought it in, washed and ate it. It really was good! -lol-good luck with yours!!!

That is how we are with the tomatoes, Angie. We won't have any unless they are given to us. He planted 16 or 18 plants and they all died. He bought more and replanted. I think there may be two still struggling to survive.
My traveling niece brought me some zucchini last week and cucumbers. My daughter planted a few zucchini and likes to grill them. She has a smaller garden, but enough for them, if everything makes well.
Nora brought me two cherry tomatoes off of 'her' plant, to show and then she ate them!-lol They did bring me a green bell pepper they picked, though.

It was too wet at first to plow & get ready to plant. Then it was so dry and hot. Now we are getting a few showers things are growing fast.

Then I wish Mike would have planted our okra!!! DH planted 4 rows - 2 look good- replanted parts of the other 2 rows FOUR times and still the rows aren't filled out.
I hope the corn does well bc we all like corn . I bet it is a pretty site out your window!

It all sounds and Is good. One of Dh's brothers gave us a box of potatoes and yesterday a nephew gave us about 25 pounds-Ashley came today and let her take some home with her when she left- traveling niece Eraine brought us blueberries. They have a grove and man picks on halves for them. Don't have any peaches, though yours sound good.
Did daughter have carpel tunnel? Which daughter?
