I couldn’t wait.
And, as a point of reference. That bowl is about 14″ in diameter. The longest potato is more than 10″ long.

Because we can.
It grows in drought. It grows when the rain won’t quit. It keeps growing and producing until frost finally kills it. And you get new okra every day.
Flower, developing pods and ready to eat, all at once together. 
The bed on the right has okra trees taller than my head. And they just keep going. Chuck planted 14 seeds and got 14 plants. We are about to quit trying to eat it all and start freezing it. (We bought a chest freezer to be delivered next Saturday because the one in the kitchen can’t keep up.)
The consensus here is that anyone who thinks they don’t have a green thumb should try growing okra. It will make you feel like Mr. Greenjeans.

There was no residual cancer. It looks like all the bad cells were removed when they did the D&C. We will be keeping an eye on me, but I don’t require any additional treatment. All I have to do now is get over the surgery.

We are no longer beekeepers.
They were looking weak the last time I checked on them and, today, the hive is empty.
I’m sorry this is so, but native pollinators are having a fine time in our garden so we will be counting on them and paying for honey.
