Glad you have some protection for your garden. I made a square foot garden this year and haven’t had a single pest, with the exception of my husky who I had to inform that I did not put it in for him to pee on! Happy Gardening!

I think that okra is one of the easiest veggies to grow. Having parents that grew up in South Louisiana, my family can’t get enough of it friend, stewed, or in gumbo!!

I always soak my seeds for several hours before planting to hasten germination because the seed is so hard. Remember to harvest the okra when it is 3-4 inches long. Longer than that and the okra will be too hard to use. You will need to harvest every 2-3 days. My grandfather always had us to cut off the lower leaves as we harvested the okra to allow more energy to go to producing more okra.

I hope this helps.

You’ve got a nice variety, there- and two more squares for possibilities! I’m growing tomatillos for the first time this year, and my fights are with voles, moles, and deer. We’ve been investing in fencing, too.

I’ve been fighting a war with bunnies for sometime now! Smart little critters aren’t they! I’m with Jenni on the cilantro – I just plant new seeds every 2 weeks or so. Love fresh cilantro!

Is okra an easy plant to care for? I haven’t ever even thought to plant it until reading your post, but now I want to!

Love your garden bed! I hope the fence keeps the bunnies out… I’ve just recently noticed them in our yard.

Thanks for sharing!
