Okra Yumminess!

Holy Okra!!  I am excited because that is the one plant that is producing right now.  Okra loves the heat and doesn't mind getting a little bit dry.  I have fertilized it about every two weeks.  It is just seems to be really happy on the roof which I am so thankful for.  I am still surprised with how easy it was to grow for me in such challenging heat conditions this year.   Also,  I realize how important it is to have this in a very large container.  Not only does it look cool, but the plant just needs the space.

These pictures were taken over a few weeks time.

My first okra harvest.  It took me by surprise and thus the reason why it is so large.

The next round

Pretty Okra bloom!

So many more to come!
