Today’s harvest, minus two more fruits that had been missed and were already past their prime.

How many okra plants do you need to grow to feed a family? Well, we currently have six producing plants, and they provide more than enough fruits for a meal every 2-3 days!

There’s a pair of burgundy okra plants, and four green okra plants – all of which are quite matured and have branched out. Since a few of the stems don’t look that healthy any more, I’ve pruned them off and have sown a new lot of seeds from one of the old fruits. I expect that these will germinate fast because they’re from fresh seeds.

So how many new plants do I plan on growing? At least four, with a new generation sown within a month or six weeks, I think. And I need to look into germinating other veggies, too, since the weather has become more conducive for them. Where are my seeds..?
