It's been a year since I've seen something like this. This proves that this plant is getting strong and will soon grow pods afterwards.
The last one literally died after just growing one okra, but grew taller compare to this one. But least it has survived, there's another but no flowers yet.
I recall they were eight of them, now only two of them survived. Actually, I'm pretty bored waiting and preferred to grow something else.
Unfortunately, All of my lettuce died. So, I have plenty of space to plant something new.

I hope it doesn't discourage you from planting a lot more @jstory07 the weather can be so unfair. Makes me believe that climate change is for real.

@Letranknight2015 Maybe it was over watered? Hmm According to a grower it takes 53 days to grow. I love romaine lettuce. I use it in salads and sandwiches. They are so yum.

@Letranknight2015 You will have a green thumb soon when you always do planting. But you must have the interest.

I've actually applied some fertilizer to keep most of them from dying @SIMPLYD I didn't have interest in planting nor I knew i had green thumb until Last year.

well, if you are able to grow an okra, i salute you, my friend. that is the only vegetable that i can grow, because i have a 'hot' palm, no green thumb' and the okra is the only vegetable that grew in my garden pot during my elementary years

I forgot to mention that I was also growing some mustard greens, but out of 11 i think only one is barely hanging on @ridingbet . I don't know what hot palm is. I'm thinking of growing moringa again.

@ridingbet hot palm would that mean you can't grow plants?

You are lucky to have good empty space. Try to grow all varieties of flowers and vegetables.

It's our backyard garden here, but some how the soil doesn't cooperate with all the plants, not to mention there are ants all over the place @shivamani10
