well my garden is coming back , i was sure the heat would kill everything but its been pretty nice here about 85-93 degrees and a little rain as well...my tomatoes are making a comeback still a little droppy but puttin off some good flowers and maters.....these were taken at dusk so bear with me






and i dont know about anybody else here but my okra is absolutley HUGE
this is 1 plant and my wife standing next to it...she is 5'-8" tall so this thing has to be at least 8 ft...i think its called a clemson spineless...we have gotten a bunch off of this and there is plenty more to come....has anyone else have had okra grow this big...this is new to me.....

What the heck are you feeding that plant..??

Dang... that's some kinda okra!

BTW you need to pull suckers off yer 'maters... the little branches, so's the big ones make bigger fruit.

TH i have not done anything to that plant it is self feeding itself...no fertilzer just plain old H2O....its so big and healthy and it keeps growing....i will have to take a pic of the stalk its at least 1.5 - 2 inches diameter....

rich i have heard that too...my mom has told that when i planted just never took them off i will probably give a go next season.....

Great looking garden Mike!
My tomatoes are starting to take off again too. I think the heat slowed them down during mid summer.
My okra plants are around 5' tall.... yours are huge! Do you use a ladder to pick them?

i happy my maters are coming back hopefully we can get more of them thru october.....and that is one okra plant and i'm think i am going to need something to use when i pick from the top...i still have seeds for these type of plant and next year i will plant about a dozen of these....

That is some big Okra plant's...Nice...Louie didn't plant none this year cause a ol friend said he'd give her plenty....he has lived up to that. Louie won't let a pod get longer that her index finger. Gotta agree they become to tough. She has a had some tall one's like ya'll.

Ive had okra taller than that but not the Clemson variety...thats a beauty...

Keep them maters watered and hope for a late freeze...
Thats kinda what mine look like but they are lookin better each week...
