First Okra - July 6, 2023

A friend wanted to come get some cucumbers this afternoon.  I said to The Husband at 7 this morning, "It ain't gonna get any cooler today," and went to the garden to pick.  Filled a 5-gallon bucket three-quarters full, then filled it the rest of the way with squash.  

While picking the squash, I noticed that the okra (which I noticed was blooming just last weekend) needed cutting.  Some pods - nearly half the haul - were already too big and tough.  There were enough right-sized ones for our supper and Nanny's supper.  

We had sauteed squash & onions, fried okra, and ham for dinner.  Mmmm....

All the plate lacked was a good, ripe tomato, but we're still a good way from that.
