Today was the day. I mowed the grass down in the garden area.
Tony felt okay so he tilled over the spots he did a week or so ago, I raked down the plowed rows, he sowed the okra seed and I did the cucumbers.
He tilled another spot because he wants summer greens.
It took us hours and hours but we got`er done! I also got my first blister of the year.

Wow, looks like you are going to have quite a harvest. How much okra do you eat?

@andriaperry I can eat about 10 in a day and I just eat raw. They are very expensive here and I can't afford too much. How do you eat it?

@1hopefulman I cook mine, boiled, fried ith garlic and lime, breaded and fried. I also pickle okra. I make gumbo and soup, that is why I slice and freeze it.

Very interesting to see people still have interests in growing their own vegetables.

@andriaperry that I have no idea about. I mean even the tulips coming up had snow caps. It has all melted now but it was the strangest thing. One can just hope everything will be alright.
