This is our okra bed. This is also our cucumber, watermelon and cone flower bed. Hubby planted our little bed of okra which came up right on schedule. Then we found that our okra was not alone. Apparently, someone spitting watermelon seeds last year has given us several very nice vines. The cucumbers last year were planted in an adjacent bed and I guess they got up and walked to the okra bed. Again, some very nice vines. We don't know how the coneflower got there, as they are all planted on the other side of the fence in the front yard.
They are really beautiful right now and have spread like wildfire. This bed goes across the front of the house and is filled with 4 different kinds of lillies, creeping phlox, monkey grass and our herbs. It will really be a showcase when everything blooms.
The dill is blooming also. We'll use it when we cook the fish we have in the freezer...it's really good on the grill or baked. So far everything is looking good! The blackberries are abundant and I have picked lots of raspberries. We have been disappointed with the strawberries - the critters around here like them as much as we do. Little Man likes them more than the critters do.
Have a great day!
