Garden 2009: Okra and Sweet Potatoes

Our okra is a little slow in starting to produce this year. We've only harvested a few pods thus far. Okra is a southern crop that always seems to thrive in the heat of summer. I wonder if this summer has been too mild and pleasant for it to do well?

The sweet potato vines have filled their enclosure. I hope they are making lots of sweet potatoes underground. Our rabbits do a good job of keeping the vines pruned so they done sprawl all over the garden -- whether we really want them to prune or not.

Garden 2009: Okra and Sweet Potatoes

Pointing The Way

Rusty may be an Australian Shepherd, but he seems to think he's a pointer. He was pointing at three rabbits at the back of our garden. I can guarantee you that every muscle in his body was tense. After a couple of more steps, he charged. He didn't come close to catching any of the rabbits, but after a shout from Jo and I, he did stay inside the garden instead of chasing the rabbits off into the woods.
